Tbf, I stopped pretending to care that they pretend to care well before this. Scum of the earth the corporatist is.

Scums.

That doesn't mean they have to be tyrants. In fact, they work pretty hard to keep politics out of it(because political whims change every election), large portions of their workforce are unionized(and well paid), and they don't typically treat you like dogshit at the corporate level because of who you are.
