Both Google and Goldman are corporates. How about adding Pfizer to the mix? The result doesn't change. It doesn't matter what they do, their priority is not saving the world, even as a side effect. If you want to save the world, you are on your own. Non-profits? Maybe. Or a tiny company where you can have influence on the company's direction. But, not in a corporate, unless you drink your Kool-Aid everyday, then it is a different story.

- marincounty 13y agoI'm glad you threw Drug companies in the mix. I used to think that was the one industry that followed scientific principals--boy was I wrong.
- refurb 13y agoI would have to disagree about Pfizer. Success in the pharmaceutical industry is based on bringing real benefit to patients, otherwise you don't make any profit. Sure you can argue that pharmaceutical advertising is boosting those profits beyond what they would normally see, but the fact remains that these companies are still providing therapies that improve patients' lives and health.
