It does seem our non-corporate leaders rarely behave like principled people as well. Though many of us regular folk often fall into that pattern as well. Perhaps they do represent us quite well. I imagine a more principled society in general.
I think free speech is important, tho it seems difficult to actually convince major corporations and over-financed individuals to adopt ethical practices and principles with the things we say. It might make things better if all of us could prioritize principled behavior highly - especially those with greater resources. I think the right kind of free speech would follow naturally then.
It’s weird that we as a society don’t hold major corporations to a higher standard than this. So many unprincipled practices designed to inflate numbers.
I loves me some bison. I visit Yellowstone nearly every winter. My heart hurts when I think of the slaughter during early US history. I yearn for a better integration of nature and animals with modern society.
