But hey, you’re the one who decided that the homeless person trying to survive was sufficient justification for more widespread corporate greed.

It’s the governments responsibility to make companies pay their fair share of taxes.

Exactly. Don't blame fucking companies for doing what companies were always about to do. Blame the government for letting them. If you get mauled by a lion, you won't blame the lion, you (or your heirs) will blame the zoo for saving money on the fence. Why is it different with companies?

So because the zoo fucked up I shouldn’t be upset with the lion for mauling people? You. An be upset at two things simultaneously, and you sure as shit don’t need to support making life harder for the people already being mauled

there is no defense in there. I never defended the company. I just called your stance that companies ought to do social welfare unreasonable. I very much like everyone to do social welfare stuff, but to blame companies when they refuse to do what the fucking government should is just a pretty twisted stance, innit?
