I am getting the feeling that some corporations have figured out that change is expensive, that it is possible to profit from solving problems. Somewhat different.
That is capitalism at its best. John Wanamaker made business dealing more honest when he established no-haggle merchandising. John Davison Rockefeller II solved lots of problems by supplying cheap fuel (then kerosene) to Americans. I could name more. Bad business is creating problems and sticking people with paying more for what they get. The capitalists that Americans like least are typically their landlords and their cable suppliers.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
