Aren’t the profits the end goal? I’d like Bezos or Musk’s money and wouldnt really care if I’m benefiting “society” one bit to get it.
- maxerickson 3y agoSure, I'm not talking about your attitude, I'm talking about what society should tolerate from you. If you use incorporation in a way that is harmful to society, we should dissolve your corporations. So ideally you'd be working for your profit with an awareness that there are probably some other things that you should consider.
- mlrtime 3y agoWe have this already, laws and regulation. It may not meet your current form "harmful to society" but society mostly has this figured out already.
- maxerickson 3y agoSort of. There's an awful lot of conversation that tends to ignore it, treating profit as the only thing that merits consideration.
