Corporations serve society, not visa versa. If lighter measures do not work, nationalize 'em all. (Many lighter measures have not yet been tried.)
PP would be worse, though.
In my experience corporations serve their shareholders (and maybe board and executive s).
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.
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.
untrue, many examples first one that comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackler_family
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?
