Mark, think about the guy who starts his own business.
What, you mean.... like Mark, who started his own business? Called Singletrack/GoFar?
Mark, I think you've got it backwards, companies are there for one reason in most commercial situations, to make money for the owners / investors
But not at all costs. its not the ONLY thing they have to do to the extent they have few principles and justify it by saying "its only business" Which translates as morally I cannot defend this as i only did it for money
Its an attempt to strike a balance between social responsibility AND making money
When we look at the size and profit of a large number of multinationals who pay minimum wage here, use cheap far eastern labour /sweat shops and a aggressively avoid tax its very hard to justify this. this is what ONLY pursuing money gets you. Asbestos companies and tobacco companies lying about the affects of their products being another . If you cannot see an imbalance here , that needs redressing, then nothing I say will convince you.
