South Park can go on because they make money. Talk-shows are already dying and cutting them is easy choice even under mild pressure.
The value talk they use is PR aimed at stakeholders (customers, employees, government). No company has taken a stance where they willingly accept net negative returns if they have other choice.

Not just corporations, every institution from the church to every silo in your government to big nonprofits. The latter ones just have less measurable goals than profit, but they sociopathically seek their goals all the same. Beyond a certain scale organizations staffed by humans no longer act human.

- hackeraccount 1y agoYou want people to act out of something other then self interest? People like that are the one's who have caused the most trouble.
- zeven7 1y agoPeople who have refused to bend to power for the greater good are not the ones who have caused the most trouble.
- nabla9 1y agoAsk for regulation. Amoral entities can work towards good goals when incentives are right. Empty moral grandstanding does not help.
