    If regulators don’t stop them from doing it, the CEO’s of publicly traded companies will get the boot from the board for not doing it. They have a fiduciary duty to be as shitty as humanly possible.

    We need laws to stop this, but the politicians are all bribed not to.

      They don’t – that’s a cargo-cult misunderstanding of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co – but it’s so widely believed I guess it might as well be true.

        If the people sitting on the Supreme Court believe it, and I believe the majority of those shitbags do, then that is unfortunately the law as it stands.

        But when the law is unethical, I don’t see why we should be lawful.

          Dude, Brother is not even an US company - like most big printer companies it’s Japanese and traded at the Tokyo stock exchange.

          So… You’re arguments are invalid and only show your americentric world view.
