    That’s because you’re a proud consumer who doesn’t realize how maximizing profit is the motivation for everything you’ve mentioned.

      Do you think you’re being insightful or something? That’s not even true, states sometimes compel and coerce firms for that information even when it may harm the profit incentive through reputational damage.

        Right. It can’t be that you’re a proud consumer, because then you’d have to acknowledge your own contribution to the problem and criticize a culture you’re dependent on.

        Can’t have that.

          Again, I have no clue what you’re talking about. I’m not going to live in a hut in the woods and neither are you.
