What did you expect from an institution that inherently encourages disgusting, unsustainable, destructive behaviour and even requires it by law since publicly traded companies are required to work towards turning a profit. These aren't bad people, they are working in a highly competitive institution that requires bad practices to stay alive and thrive. The system sucks, and people have gotten to the point where they internalize the statement that it's "just business" as if that give a waiver toward backwards and immoral behaviour and nobody ever questions it.
We've adopted the paradigm of constant consumption of limited resources and competition amongst eachother to produce the best. We've moved from competing in the wild for food to competing in the corporate jungle for market share. Someday we will have a just, civilized society.
