In each case, you take the most negative aspect of the corporation and blow it out of proportion.
Lockheed Martin makes weapons. Weapons seem like a great thing to have when it's the only thing preventing your country from being invaded. (and by the way, we've never lived in a time with fewer battle deaths per 100k people).
Banks charge overdraft fees. But they also provide secure transactions, storage of value, and they pool capital. This is a critical service without which there'd be no economy at all.
Drug companies are not little angels with perfect behaviour. But without them, a lot of us would currently be dead.
And so on and so on.
We live in a complex world. If you only look for the worst, that's exactly what you'll find. If you look for hard facts, you'll see that there's never been a better time. Perhaps you would then ask - who benefits from keeping you continually outraged? Only the media, and a certain type of politician, and late-night comedy hosts. Certainly not you, and definitely not the rest of the world.
