The people sitting on the BoD of one giant company look just like the people sitting on another BoD. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if institutional investors or board members in Academi are the exact same people on the board of AT&T. They are all suits and they are all most interested in short-term profit.

It is the fallacy of both the left and the right to attribute human values to large corporations, both public and private.
