Aw
gee
what bullshit
have you even looked at
the shit someone has spoon fed your ass
Firstly I didn't say
everything a corporation does
is Kosher, what I said was
Corporations are created to
create profit, and their actions
should rightfully be geared to
realizing that profit.
Corporations
are not
living entities
a corporation
can not do anything
the people with in it
can do lots of things
including break laws and act
unethically for their
own personal gain
sure it may incidentally help
the corporation, but the primary
motivation is to benefit the individual
For example
You are an executive of a chemical company
your job is to produce 100,000 barrels of XYZ product
a month for the lowest price possible.
Now you have a waste bill for
disposing of chemical byproducts
which costs you 350k a month.
If you dump the chemicals illegally
you can cut your bottom line by 4%.
Now you the more you are able to
minimize costs and improve productivity,
the bigger your bonuses are,
and the more likely you are to be promoted.
So the unethical, greedy and in the scope of things
fucking stupid exec, takes the easy
cut and lowers costs.
This gets him
800k in bonuses and
a promotion to Group VP
but this does not help
the company, in the short term
they think they have been helped
because their product costs less to produce.
what the executive has done for the
company in truth, is yanked down
the companies pants and put a sign
on its back saying
"fuck me please"
and it is just a matter of time
before someone does.
It is rarely profitable for a
major corporation to violate the law.
The amount of money you have to save
weighed against
fines,
restitution,
punitive damages
lost public goodwill
it takes an obscene amount of savings
and a significant number of years to
amortize those costs and have it be
profitable overall.
Where corporations fuck you
is not by breaking the law
but by either
a) changing the law to make what they
want to do legal or
b) getting a special exception to do it anyway or
c) getting Joe Taxpayer to pay for them to comply with the law.
(the last is absolutely brilliant imho)
As for people
checking their humanity
when the go into the office?
what fucking happy happy lala land
have you been living in?
In this world
there are 6+ billion people
of those
maybe 100 million are good people
about
1 billion are decent human beings
meaning they probably would help you
if you lay bleeding by side of the road
as long as it didn't cost them anything.
roughly
1 billion are evil corrupt
motherfuckers
and the rest
roughly 3.9 billion people?
well
are all just
lil shits
Don't preach high morals
cause I am sure you are
a hypocritical son of a bitch
just like me
People do
whatever seems most
necessary to them
at each moment
Ask 1000 people
should we save the
whales
spotted owls
salmon
80% will answer
Yes
Ask 1000 people
if they are willing
to spend 20 minutes
and $20 dollars
a year
on inspections
to make sure their cars
are properly tuned
and thereby emitting
less pollutants
80% will tell you
to
get fucked
