We might live better if this were true (maybe not), but it is not at all their job. Neither is it our job to serve them.
If it's not their job to help society then why should we let them exist?
I agree that in the best interests of having a pleasant place to live, or elected officials should force them to sell at not so great a profit. I feel like "they shouldn't be allowed to exist" is a poor way to put it.
People who don't help society end up in prison and corporations aren't people.
untrue, many examples first one that comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackler_family
Go and kill someone and get caught, tell me how that goes for ya 🙂
Also, you're in a Canadian community here.
besides the example i gave actually harming people, and them not being in prison, to go from "people who don't help society" to murder is kind of a stretch isn't it?
you realize it's possible to neither help nor harm society.
i am canadian, are we limited to examples only of canadian's who harm societies, C suite of loblaws isn't in jail are they?
Commit fraud then
And yes the country matters. Ever heard of... Laws?
