Complete non-sequitor. A corporation can make a choice that causes misery. By the time the consequences of this corporate decision precipitate, it becomes too late to make a choice.
Case in point: 300 people killed by Boeing and 100 people dead in the fire in Grenfell tower in UK.
On the contrary, a representative might amend/revere the situation, for example by changing the law.
It’s ironic to talk about how corporations cause destruction in people’s lives in a way governments don’t, and then bring up hundreds of deaths as an example. Those deaths are tragic to be sure, but how many tens of millions of people have died at the hands of their governments in the last century?
I dont think counting deaths caused by dictators addresses my point.
How do we make it an apples to apples comparison? For example,today, 2 million people a year die from air pollution, who is to blame for those deaths?
What about drug cartels, do we count the deaths that occurred in fighting them 'against' government? But if the government did not exist, those deaths would be higher, so do we count 'prevented deaths'?
What about tabacco, etc. I dont think a realistic tally can be made.
