But the house is privately owned by me. The company is public, anyone can buy, and if they have enough of it (or enough of the elected board representation), then they can do that. If I was a shareholder in a company that underperformed the market, and a professional turnaround firm decided to take drastic action to improve the value of my ownership stake, I would approve. My preference is to work for and invest in companies that try to make me the most money possible. I donate to non-profits that try hardest to improve the world. For-profit companies and non-profit organizations have different goals.
