There is at least some non-zero chance that widespread expressions of outrage can encourage even megacorps to change direction - the same cannot be said of mosquitoes. The latter are expressing their immutable core nature, whereas the core nature of the former is the aggregate effect of the behaviour of a collection of human beings and therefore subject to change.
- bitwize 5y agoMegacorps change their nature about as well as mosquitoes do. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Now what corporations do do (sometimes quite well) is make superficial changes to avoid bad PR. But if you really want them to change their nature you must use a very blunt instrument -- government regulation.
- ironmagma 5y agoYes, and how will government regulation appear? Just randomly, for no reason?
