The Corporation
I’m resting this morning after a honker of a road ride yesterday. Celebrated drummer and Sonia Leigh bandmate Dave Anthony and I put in about 42 miles with some pretty heavy hills yesterday and I’m trying to rest up for my sprint triathlon on Saturday.
In between bouts of PHP and Perl coding, I am watching a documentary called The Corporation about, you guessed it, corporations. It contains some very disturbing stories about corporate collusion with governments and fascism and sweatshops and all that sort of thing.
Basically the thrust of the film seems to be that corporations do not have an intrinsic morality that they abide by. All they care about is money.
Well, I get that. That sounds really horrible and bad, but folks corporations are collections of people. If those people cared more about their morals than their money, the corps would too, and even more importantly, if the customers cared about morality more than they cared about cheap clothing and cheap gas, the corporations would have to get in line.
The simple fact of the matter is that people do not care, or at least, they don’t care enough to act.
