      spoiler alert though, it’s literally everybody. because everyone else is doing it, it’s not possible to survive as a business in a competitive space without doing, for lack of a better word, the devil’s work. It will take a major social disruption to change this, but it won’t happen in an organized fashion because we as a species are pathetic. The disruption will be the end of the world - North America cracking down the middle due to all the fracking, the Greenland glacier sliding into the ocean all at a go, something like that. FAFO endgame shit, due any minute now anyway.

        Okay while I agree it’s everyone.

        It is absolutely possible for a single corporation to not be the shittiest possible person in existence. They just can’t be public.

        The stock market is the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

        One solution is to support government regulation of these industries. Deregulation is the cause of much of this crap.

          Well, if you deregulate patents and copyright (that is, abolish them, with only trademark laws remaining), then I’d expect only positive results.

      Good luck avoiding most of them. They own everything.
