It sure seems like it to me. However, considering the climate of business ethics in this country, it's no surprise that businesses themselves would be treated poorly by customers/individuals.

If something has negative affects (to customers, the environment, their employees, etc.) they run the actuary tables and the most profitable solution wins. It's tit-for-tat.
