    It’s weird that we as a society don’t hold major corporations to a higher standard than this. So many unprincipled practices designed to inflate numbers.

      The only way to make the world a better place is to gut the government agencies that hold businesses back from their true potential!

            Ha, the internet has completely ruined my sarcasm detector. For every completely unhinged satirical opinion there’s somebody out there who will express it with complete sincerity, and it can be impossible to tell. That’s Poe’s Law for you…

              I’ve had the luxury of only seeing what hasn’t been removed by mods here, and I’ve reset my baseline for Beehaw comments accordingly. I can hit people over the head with satire if need be, but it’s neither as effective nor fun as being subtle.

      It’s hard to do that when the people that can make those decisions are paid by the corporations.

        It does seem our non-corporate leaders rarely behave like principled people as well. Though many of us regular folk often fall into that pattern as well. Perhaps they do represent us quite well. I imagine a more principled society in general.
