Corporations and Social Consciences?
You're kidding right? Surely you jest?

According to our company's bankers/shareholders, Businesses are required to turn a profit or they have a name change---> "BANKRUPTED FAILURES". It's rather difficult to collect a paycheck from a failed enterprise.

Souless Monopolies? Sure, I agree a business should and must operate in an ethical manner, but to call something as souless smacks of jealousy.

I know I was bad to consume one too many adult beverages in my college dazes, but seems to me do I remember in Economics we discussed something about goods and services for a fee.

It is up to the comsumer to think about their purchases in order to get the best bang for their buck... Not the seller.

If you don't like what the seller offers, go somewhere else or develop you own. Don't cry about someone being better at it than you.
