Nice shallow dismissal, but I'm talking about corporations, not "my bubble". By and large, they are maximizing for profit. And you're happy to have the goods and services they provide, and they provide more of those if they are profitable than if they aren't, so indirectly you are still hoping everyone profits.

Me? Personally? No, your guesses miss the mark about what I want; I a very spartan life compared to most americans and really wish others would do the same. I was speaking to your narrow perspective on collective entities.

Zig pleases my spartan sensibilities, and personally I'm delighted that it's forming a more durable arrangement without needless profiteering. Like the EFF and other open source foundations, there's a chance to good work, to make the world a better place, without ruthless profiteering.
