As someone who has lived in Colorado for his entire life and is closely involved in local politics:

If your idea of "being socially responsible and improving lives of people around" is giving kickbacks to the local school to the tune of 0.0001% of your profit... I don't want to be part of your society. These businesses are absolutely anything but socially responsible.

Since the sole purpose of the modern corporation is to maximize shareholder return, its the former.

I’m not sure if your post was meant to challenge op’s idea or support them, but it isn’t clear to me that your statement contradicts them in anyway.

There are so many absolutely terrible things we could do which help us immensely in the short term yet ultimately lead to immense harm.

The two often go hand in hand.
