That’s only because the government removed the requirement of corporations to have a social benefit in their charter of incorporation.

If we reinstate this it would make that “something” be identified and other than just money.

This is news to me. I thought we created these monsters with their mandates to make only money from the beginning.

I'd like to see Social Purpose Corporations become the default but sadly it's non-obvious how to go about creating one. Stripe's Atlas defaults to the monster. Can we get an anti-Atlas that makes it easy to bootstrap ethical corps?
