    Remember… There is not a single corporation that gives a shit about you beyond your LTV (lifetime value) as a paying customer. “Pride week” and “Palestinian stories” type things are just mechanisms to get your money.

    If they are told they make more money harming you, CEOs literally have a legal responsibility to choose that option. And right after they do, they will have an amazing dinner while laughing at how stupid you are and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life.

      Has anyone ever been under the illusion orherwise? I’ve never seen anyone who thought corporations cared about them. And people don’t care about corporations either. They care about getting the shit they want at the price they want and will sleep very soundly if some corporation goes out of business.

        a lot of people have a hard time to believe that facebook, google, microsoft, etc cannot be trusted, or even that they don’t have good intentions (anymore?)

      No they fucking don’t.

      They choose to do so out of greediness the vast majority of the time, but it isn’t a legal obligation.

        And let’s not forget that most significant forms of “harm” are illegal in the first place. The comment above you makes it sound like any minute now, Nabisco might decide it’s more profitable for them to roll out to your house and kill you.

        You are actually not wrong but if they dont obey BoD, it is the shed.

        Bigger question here if this “simplification” is a valid tactic to communicate the message.

        Theoretically BoD could sue the CEO, but i dont think that ever happened in this context… Only in cases of fraud, ie stealing company assets
