I had a management class years ago in college where the professor made the argument that in order to be ethical, every single action a business makes must be done to increase profits for its shareholders.

Charitable donation? Only if it increases public perception in a way to be justified the cost.

Pay your employees well? Only if paying them less would cause you to lose them to your competitors.

The list goes on. It’s a very depressing way to look at the world. But as time goes by, I’ve realized just how accurate that professor was. Companies don’t give a shit about you and will turn on you the second it makes their quarterly numbers look better.

Lol had never seen that before, but Jesus Christ that is a painful depiction of my life.

It’s kind of funny, but we all do this to some extent. I used to think most people on Reddit were super smart. If someone says stuff with authority, then it’s easy to believe what they’re saying and assume they know what they’re talking about.

But then every once in a while, I’d come across a topic that I know deeply about - and the comment would just be blatantly wrong, but still have tons of up votes. It really made me start second guessing all the other comments I had read and thought were smart, but it’s an easy trap to fall into.

I guess what I’m really saying, is that you all are a bunch of morons, probably.

Lol I love that SJW is listed as right wing for not explicitly being anticapitalist. Gave me a good laugh.
