Why? Why are we blaming the guard who is trying to stop the hoard from destroying the city rather than the hoard which is destroying the city? Companies need to behave ethically and if they dont know what is ethical I'm sure they can afford to have some philosophers on the board. And if they can't afford that, that still doesn't absolve them from their unethical behavior. I refuse to participate in this blame shifting mentality, as if companies have no other choice but to be unethical.
- lotsoweiners 3y agoYou are quite naive. Government in many countries is a framework to help enforce ethical behavior. Without enforcement I wouldn’t pay my taxes just because “I want to pay my fair share”. I pay them because the IRS exists. Having companies and industries regulate themselves just leads to a lot of “trust me bro I’m good” scenarios.
- newswasboring 3y agoI'm not talking about what is, I am talking about everyone's resignation to it. At the very least I would expect people to blame the businesses and companies equally. But what I observe is not just tacit acceptance of company behavior but in some places stating it as if that is how it should be.
