- robertlagrant 5y agoPlease don't think "for profit" is evil. It's just normal. You can find enormous negative things about all financial structures.
- epgui 5y agoIt absolutely does. The way I understand all the responses to my comment, it seems a lot of people have the impression that the assumption of good faith makes someone naive... But that's absolutely not the case. The assumption of good faith does not require one to "believe" that any given action is the product of good faith. The only thing it requires is that good faith be the starting point from which you evaluate someone else's (or yes, a for-profit corporation's) actions. All one needs to do is begin by first trying to understand how an action could be explained by factors other than bad faith, or could be compatible with good faith. This is in fact a very weak requirement!
