"The purpose of a corporation by definition is to maximize the bottom line for the shareholder. It has nothing to do with being good to people."
So in your opinion being good to people have NOTHING to do with maximizing the bottom line from the shareholder.
I beg to differ, IMHO the most profitable business are those that provide a very good product or service to their customers(people).
I remember the pre-google days, Altavista that forced you to click 5 buttons to do the same thing you could do with google on "Advanced search", That push pop ups that will flick on the screen with vivid colors and force you to visit their stupid "portals", that sold the three first web results page to the best bidders(so they were crap).
I recall that days every single day I have to visit my old hotmail account because they are not dead. If there were not some company that gave a better service that they do(google) they will come back.
