    It’s not like corporations are some animal who can’t help but be who they are.

    That’s exactly what they are. They are composed of people only to the extent that a car is composed of wheels.

    If it’s otherwise in working order, a flat tire will be replaced and the car will be going wherever it’s meant to go. Profit city is where all roads lead to, and a flat tire (or four) can only delay for so long.

    If you want to hold corporations to moral standards, you have to change the incentives (destinations) and restructure corporations to be actually owned and controlled by people who are then held to those moral standards (put more of the car into the wheels).
