   I wish we, as a society, would label companies which cause more harm than good as such.

      A large swath of American society today sees a movie like Scarface as an inspirational biopic, not a modern Shakespearean tragedy.

      Lots of especially younger people see unbridled ambition and rule-breaking as a virtue. Everything is about making money and if you're not the one getting it, or worse, you're the person being victimized, you're dumb and weak.

         isn't that what society rewards though? everyone is supposed to be an entrepreneur and have a side hustle

            That's exactly the problem. Any ideal/virtue can be violated as long as they are getting that bag.
