    the good people.

    You are limiting your own intelligence by thinking companies can be described in those words.

    They are not good. They are profit-seeking. Profit seeking doesn’t necessarily mean evil, but it can never mean good. A non-profit who’s goal is to improve their community around them, a co-op who’s goal is to treat their workers with respect etc etc can all be described as ‘good’ to varying degrees, but no for-profit entity, especially a publicly traded one, can ever be described as ‘good’

      Hence their point about being the best of a bad bunch. Remember the people making decisions are people. A corporation has no soul and only seeks profit. People work for them and can make good decisions and be good people whomever they work for.

      There were good people that worked for the nazis. Unless you think the cleaner, for instance of the Nazi headquarters cleaned as a way to speak evil.

      However. I take your point. I just think that’s not what is the point of the discussion here and is no different to both sides being bad on politics. It lacks nuance.
