I'm struggling to understand why this should be the case. I understand this is how it works now, but this seems like a flaw, not a desirable aspect of life.
Edit: To clarify, I meant I don't understand why it's a good thing we expect corporations to look out for their best interests while ignoring the best interests of society/individuals.
- citizenkeen 6y agoIf a number isn't portable, you're more locked in to their system. Sure, other people are locked out, but by their math, they're able to keep people from leaving, which may be more desirable.
- nend 6y agoApologies, I think my comment was unclear so I just edited it. What I meant was it's unclear to me why it's a good thing that corporations look out for their best interests instead of the best interests of society/customers/people. If an individual does it, their known for being selfish, egotistical, maybe even narcissistic. There's a natural push back from society to this behavior. Corporations should be disincentivized from doing this as well. Society would benefit as a whole. The fact that people expect selfishness out of corporations and see it as a good thing is concerning.
