The benefical powers of consumerism, by Saint Consumer.

I concur.

Therefore no one will ever ride with Uber again?

Doing good?

Sorry, I find snide remarks on the Internet to indicate dismissiveness (that’s how I use them!!), hence I got my defenses up.

And yet above I did call their CEO a dick. I said corporations are amoral.

I don’t have a soul, you’re right, but that’s only because such things don’t exist. :P

Hopefully.

Which doesn’t make them moral. It, hopefully, makes them popular, which then translates into more sales. That’s still not morality, unless you’re willing to say that you can put a price on doing the right thing.

Fantastic PR.

Sure, as long as we’re making arguments, then, that can be argued.

And, fine, but the end result is that 3rd party passengers (who may support, oppose, or be indifferent to the ban) are actually being punished, to send a message to yet another 3rd party, namely Trump. But, the action is in support of a cause we agree with, so, we’ll ignore those people and call it good.

Depends. Is there effective competition?

That’s still not morality. It’s calculus regarding long term client relationships. It looks like morality, but is not.

That’s why I put that up the way it is phrased. Figured I could get some additional insight.

Look, I see your point...but companies are amoral. They provide a service. Sure, the CEO’s a dick, etc. etc., but the company as a whole...is just doing business. Which, granted, can justify a whole lot of fucked up BS in other contexts...

Yessir.

Alternative facts.

Sir, if you’re shooting marbles...you should see a doctor.
