    I just talked about responsibility. It by default is a wider thing than just legal responsibility.

    And no, corporations are run by thousands of people all with a wide and diverse definition of ethical. I do not place ethical standards on them whatsoever.

    That’s fucking grim.

    what public opinion will tolerate

    What is that public opinion based on if not in part on moral judgement?

      The public is happy to buy from companies that engage in unethical behavior. There is a higher bar that is tolerated before consumers will stop purchasing products however.

        I just meant that that’s often morality based, as in general public holds companies to some moral standard. Often it’s a fairly low standard though, as you’ve pointed out.
