It’s hyperbole to suggest that many people at any company would say “yes, let’s kill thousands of people to increase profits 1%”.

They cultivate plausible deniability for these things they “coincidentally” profit from. Which is precisely my point with this topic and the unions. Finally for once we see the real ethos. There’s room to have faith in the executives of these megacorporations, I don’t.
