A wild and mostly poor take. I understand the guidelines requiring more substantive posts, but I believe the overwhelming examples of detrimental companies are self evident.

I think part of the complication is that perhaps different people have different definitions for "better". For example, I posted about an organization that is working to eradicate a hideous disease that harms poor people in developing parts of the world and it was downvoted. (It’s ok, I take no offense) Perhaps it is easier to agree that any company that helps make you wealthier is helping to make the world "better"?

Increasing wealth in general (!) is always better for the world even if only because it makes more humanitarian missions possible (you need money to help others).

Sorry, nope.

Something so vague as “making world better/worse” can be “self evident“ only for ignorant and arrogant, or brainwashed people.

Anyway, give us please couple examples of detremential companies and also a source of authority to judge “objectively”, to have a meaningful debate.
