You were saying ...

Unless business is kept honest, society loses in the long run.

Sorry, but being a "sorry specimen for a human being" and being a "total SOB" -- is not a matter for society to deal with, in regards to laws and ethics -- either inside companies or outside companies (in someone's home, either)... LOL ...

That's purely up to however a company wants to run things for itself, and is a company's own business, and how successful it wants to be... and no one should interfere there.

And you'll notice that I already said that if someone breaks the law, that's one thing -- but other than that -- I absolutely don't care if they are the worst human being in the world, because it makes no difference to me, when I'm buying products from a company.

I'm buying "products" and I'm not buying their "qualities as a human being".... LOL ...

If someone wants to work on their "human being qualities" -- they can go to church and pray to God. They work on those things in church, doncha know.

Companies are not churches and if SOBs work there -- that's fine -- as (once again) -- I absolutely don't care how many SOBs a company has, when it is not a legal matter or a societal matter that it has no business controlling.

I only care about the product that I'm buying and how much it costs and if it's worth it for me and if it represents a good quality product in what it does.

And for what I've seen and used and experienced directly -- Apple has that, with their products -- such that I'm more than happy to buy their products.

As I said, my moral and ethical standards are a bit higher, both as a customer and as a business type. As an example, my company sells high-tech gear for microfluidics. We were approached by a research group who were gearing up to do research on biotech which bears directly on a subject that would increase abortions. We told them, "no thanks, go elsewhere". Fortunately, my business partners have the same moral basis I do. Our decision was unanimous.
