RE: Is Corporate Evil Inevitable?
It is true when they say power corrupts. When these companies become so big and influential, they start possessing so much power, that is where the corruption starts.
They feel they can get whatever they want, and at whatever expense. As a matter of fact, they sometimes don't care who gets hurt or the people they step upon. Your anology is similar to the case of big oil firms in my country.
They destroy our farmlands and pollute our rivers. They later bring up one stupid scholarship scheme, thinking that it will heal our heart and redeem themselves. Its nonsense.
A time is coming when such power centralization won't be possible anymore. The time is even more closer than we think.
I agree @zionweke. It's tricky when the exchange of goods and services becomes about mega milions and selling to millions of people you'll never know. Perhaps it's the size, perhaps it's human nature but either way it's an incredibly dismal set of realities going on from google to shell oil to facebook to Jcrew!
