Quote

For a long time, the for-profit world has told us in the not-for-profit sector to behave more like businesses.

Typically, when there are corporate habits that undermine individuals, it has emerged without any sort of central planning. Nobody sits down and says, 'I'm going to create an evil habit for this corporation.'

Corporate conglomerates run without regulation do not work in the service of society, and run reckless and unchecked whenever possible.

Large corporations, of course, are blinded by greed. The laws under which they operate require it - their shareholders would revolt at anything less.

Cutting prices or putting things on sale is not sustainable business strategy.

Capitalism is about adventurers who get harmed by their mistakes, not people who harm others with their mistakes.

Corporate America cannot afford to remain silent or passive about the downward spiral we are undergoing. It cannot turn a blind eye to how difficult the experience of life is for so many of their customers.

Profit per se is not my motive.

Profitability is a shallow goal if it doesn't have a real purpose, and the purpose has to be share the profits with others.

If you have a mental model that says big corporations are fundamentally greedy and selfish and exploitative, you don't really want to have an exception to that model. It's much easier to say, 'Yes, Whole Foods has been corrupted.'
