Corporations have given up the pretense of being ethical. At first, a decade or two ago, many corporations tried to convince the public they were really concerned about social and environmental issues.

Then they discovered that whitewashing, greenwashing, and lies in their advertising and PR were more effective and cheaper. Now they don’t even bother to lie. They just say they are forced to do what they do because their mandate is to maximize profits. Now they settle their malfeasance out of court because it’s cheaper than obeying the law, and hush it up with gag orders, whistle-blower prosecutions and threats of costly and protracted litigation against anyone who dares challenge their illegal activities.

Now they buy their politicians openly. Instead of them serving us, as they were designed to do, it is now us against them.
