What are you talking about? It's a competitive market so their entire business model is to serve the consumer population better than the other companies. All competition does is serve the little guy! :laugh:

I know, its retarded, its such a leap of faith to believe that and you need to blind yourself to so any facts its almost rediculous.

I don't know all of the details--but this even seems pretty F-ed up to me.

what you dont see dosnt hurt bud, that why the rich people home tend to be far away from project and homeless folks. if your avearge rich people would see what we see on a daily basis, they would be so sick of what they become they would be drunk or stoned all the time to forget the guilt.

that why succesfull drug dealer or organised crime boss fall into alchoolism, they see this pain and misery all day long, and eventually it kill them.

Describe yourself how the profit motive hurts everyone. By principle I refuse to to watch the Young Turks.

Here is how free markets hurt people.

*Billy is looking for the train station. He stops to ask a stranger*

Billy: "Excuse me, can you tell me which way the train station is?"

*Stranger points him towards the post office*

Stranger: "That way. And while you're there, bring this letter there for me"

*Stranger hands him letter, Billy goes off rifling through the envelope looking for something to steal.*

Clearly self-interest makes everyone happy.

This has nothing to do with profit motive.
