    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.
