@Skittle-Head just made me a bit less sure about my impending heartfelt defense of the toy maker.
Skittle-Head often seems to offer an unexpected but thought provoking perspective, so I should not be surprised, I guess.
When I think of sad company practice, however, the words "Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire" first occur to me -- although that disaster did seem to lead to a salutary improvement in workplace safety laws.
By the way, I know of no "oil companies" that "aim" for "destroying life on Earth."
Indeed, what company would "aim" to destroy all of its customers?
I believe they "aim" for keeping people warm and moving and provided with some of the raw material upon which life has come to depend for many-- like some heart patients, for example. Even where and when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. Even where some have effectively blocked a nuclear power plant from being constructed, in a purported and likely sincere effort to "save the planet."
Of course, some are free to do without petroleum and its products, if they wish. Lots of luck to them! I hope they're living in, say, Tahiti! That might make the attempt easier, or at least more pleasant! I wonder how many have considered what's providing the electricity for their online computers, at least in part?
