Corporations only care about money NOT HEALTH or the safety of the consumer.
On the business side, corporate managers really had only a few choices
that allowed them to satisfy investors’ growing thirst for quick and
steady returns on investment. They could create blockbuster products
that produced windfall profits for at least a few quarters or years.
They could dramatically increase market share by finding new populations
of customers or by driving competitors out of business. They could buy
and sell companies, hoping to profit by selling off assets or acquiring
fast-growing businesses. Finally, companies could increase profits by
firing workers, cutting benefits, or using their political muscle to
lower taxes or resist or weaken regulations, thereby leaving more
revenue as profit. On the political front, corporations expanded each of
these opportunities by deploying their new armies of lawyers,
lobbyists, public relations staff, and trade associations.
