Another poster mentioned that they can use this to ask for subsidies. Some might not consider tax benefits, but imo it’s tax benefits with extra steps.

And you don’t even need to think of that, a for profit business only does what it benefits it. So if they ask, it’s mainly for their benefit, not mainly for sake of charity.

I agree that corporations are inherently evil. But misinformation is also evil. Both are bad. We should all strive to explain things accurately. That being said, this is a meme channel so we're all looking too much into this. Gotta lay back and let the memes flow. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

I’m not trying to spread misinformation. Just saying that chances are, they will financially benefit from it, otherwise they wouldn’t do it.

Just using common sense and what a business is.

Saying company=evil is too simplistic for me. Imo it makes more sense to say, it can only do selfish things by design.

Fair enough man. I meant no disrespect. I was just talking in general terms.

There are plenty of toxic responses here too. Don't get too excited, lol.
