That's exactly the kind of unreasonable hatred I'm talking about. Wise people would understand that these companies (including the ones who you think are much better) are only as 'evil' as the law of the land allows them to be, and most of them are 'for profit' and will do everything they can to maximize the profit still being in the legal framework. Which company do you like instead?

They are spending millions of dollars lobbying and poisoning the law.

And again, all companies with enough money to be able to do that are doing that.

That is why I avoid all these companies. Everybody have the option to do that aswell.
