Business in our current paradigm is inherently evil and anti-human, from Palantir to CocaCola, United Healthcare to Costco, they are all wildly abusive.
And before anyone comes at me about Costco their work practices for their IT staff are exploitative and abusive as fuck, they are only selling you the image of an ethical company, just because their warehouse workers get treated less like cattle than Amazons or Walmarts does not make them good
I like Costco overall, but I note they purchase supplies from Uline, which is a company that can get absolutely fucked, and no one giving Uline money can claim moral principles.
I totally get shopping there especially economically and even more if you’ve got a family, but if you do enough digging you can see the facade put on for the public is nothing more than a marketing ploy
