minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·9 months ago Why is it so fucking hard for company executives to just be a decent human being? The ‘piss you off’ hard truth? Because we enable it. We protect it. We allow it. We enshrine their rights in corporation laws to do the things they want to do, put profits above people. They are not policed, instead they are rewarded by paying those people who would police them not to do so. As a society, we allow this to happen. So then, what kind of people would gravitate to running a corporation, under those conditions? Potential unlimited power, with potential no oversight? Fuck, I’m pissed just writing this.
