i'm wondering what certain big business managers think about 'small citizens'

i guess they think that they can cheat them easily

for me even the biggest ceo is not something i really impressed by

i remember the in the past google's motto was 'not to be evil' while they are one of the biggest evils imo

i even think that in the case of google and many others that they are not even aware much about their evil power

do you know a company that is not a charity and also not evil at all? have you heard about non conventional companies?

so the bottom line is is that companies don't even aware that they are evil well enough, they play as dumbs that don't know things related to their influence

people are so square - one day perhaps we will understand our present situation much better

Reminds me of reading the book "The Honest Truth About Dishonesty" by Dan Ariely. It's a good read to hear about how dishonesty and cheating can perpetuate throughout a company to the very top. Also, watch "Inside Job" to hear about how corrupt banking firms brought about the 2008 financial crisis. According to the movie, earning money triggers the same part of the brain as cocaine does. Some of the CEOs of these firms had vices like drugs and prostitutes, which makes me wonder if they got the same high from those activities as they did taking big risks.

But... Not everyone in business cheats and is dishonest. I think just some bad business people give others a bad name.
