Is it just a carry over from disliking wealthy privileged people in general? Someone please chime in.
When companies act against the interest of the societies in which they exist, it's at the direction of executives, managers, or other "higher level people." If they're caught, their punishments sometimes don't even negate their wrongdoing, let alone match up to crimes which are generally less harmful to the rest of the world. They get away with it, and when they don't, it's not that bad for them. The lack of justice is infuriating.
That's a big assumption, IMO. It's quite a huge assumption on how high it actually goes.
> and they nearly always get away with it.
Based on on your presumption of guilt?
I don't support presuming the guiltiness of top level executives that had no idea "because they should have known." Its reminiscent of a witch hunt.
