This shouldn't be directed at companies. They're the ones that are saying this, but that's what they should do.

Nah, screw that. The notion that companies "have" to be fucking sociopathic is basically a historical accident caused by a bad (or maybe malicious) inaccurate court transcription. It doesn't have to be that way.

Incorporation and limited liability used to be considered privileges that companies were granted in exchange for providing benefit to the public at large (not just the shareholders). The current situation is absolutely a perversion of the purpose of incorporation and needs to be massively overhauled.
