G-Corps (Commonwealth Corporations)

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" — Jesus of Nazareth

When big businesses in America do bad things — when they make their products worse for consumers through shrinkflation or planned obsolescence; or when they get us hooked on ultra-processed foods or infinitely-scrolling outrage feeds; or when they underpay or overwork their employees; or when they pollute shared rivers and cut down forests; and so on, etc. — they almost never do it because they hate us, or because it somehow tickles them to see communities suffer.

They do it because they are, structurally, indifferent to us. Large corporations are not immoral creatures; they are amoral ones. This is a structural reality; it is a direct result of their corporate design. Corporations make harmful decisions because their mandate is to make the greatest possible profit for their investors, regardless of the social cost.
