    They have a fiduciary duty to be as shitty as humanly possible.

    They don’t – that’s a cargo-cult misunderstanding of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co – but it’s so widely believed I guess it might as well be true.

      If the people sitting on the Supreme Court believe it, and I believe the majority of those shitbags do, then that is unfortunately the law as it stands.

      But when the law is unethical, I don’t see why we should be lawful.

        Dude, Brother is not even an US company - like most big printer companies it’s Japanese and traded at the Tokyo stock exchange.

        So… You’re arguments are invalid and only show your americentric world view.

      Well, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, such as the way Costco mostly operates. Being the good guys has a lot of brand value. With a little nurturing of the vast propaganda machine known as advertising, that could be improved.
