- sitkack 7y agoOne that isn’t true and two these comments are thought terminating. Please be more careful next time.
- switchbak 7y agoMaybe I'm getting old, but there's a real arrogance to telling someone how they should think. Why not tell them why you think they're wrong (and leave it up to them to change), instead of making naked assertions and telling them to change?
- maw 7y agoHey, at least you're not being told how you do think.

- braythwayt 7y agoIf you over-generalize, sure. But different corporations are selfish/ruthless/exploitative in different ways, and organizing our thinking about the ways in which a for-profit organization acts selfishly/ruthlessly/exploitatively helps us make our own decisions and craft our own strategies for getting what we want from them, or choosing with whom we do business.
- overgard 7y agoLook at companies like Monsanto (their sins probably don't need mentioning). Or Volkswagen (cheating on environmental tests) or Goldman Sachs or... anyone. Every major company will ALWAYS throw ethics under the bus, it just depends on their situation which ethics they feel great about tossing away. Trying to figure out who the "good guy" is doesn't matter, none of them are. I'm not a communist, but Microsoft is literally doing the (amoral) thing that is in their best interest. Hate the game not the player I guess?
