Isn't that the primary motive for any business?

We seem to have evolved into a way of thinking that businesses exist to
serve some philanthropic purpose and provide employment and benefits
irregardless of anything else rather than that those are simply side
products of the operation of a business.

You're right of course. I guess it's just the expectation or maybe
just the want to see some sense of altruism from the people and
businesses that exist in our society. But then, maybe I'm just too
much of a lefty as krw frequently reminds me.

More proof: lefties are incapable of telling the truth.
