Not sure if it will really cleanse us of companies like this. We've been through terrible depressions before, and sociopath companies seem to always make a comeback.
Based on other countries, it looks like the real way to cleanse us of these companies would involve moving our country towards more progressive policies.
- Apocryphon 7y agoWill investors also do the right thing and not subsidize these types of startups?
- diob 7y agoInvestors have traditionally not taken this sort of thing into account, focusing only on the profits. Although, I have read articles saying new generations refuse to invest in certain sectors, such as the military industrial complex (companies like Lockheed Martin). So perhaps it'll change over time. See https://www.upworthy.com/millennials-are-making-money-by-investing-in-the-future https://www.upworthy.com/millennials-are-making-money-by-inv... for an example of one of the articles. Getting a lot of downvotes by people on my above comment, but oddly enough no one wants to engage and say why they disagree. I feel like this platform would work better if people could only upvote. It would force them to comment / explain their own position if they really disagree with folks. Flagging should of course still exist though.
