    I'm not sticking up for big business in general, but honestly most people in any sector of the working world find ways to increase profits. Heck, the main point of THIS forum is to do exactly that. And there is a large (in my opinion) percentage of people on here that do things daily that would fit in that category. For instance, how many people here separate ALL of their plastic from metal before going to the scrapyard? Or how many circuit boards within power supplies are being crushed as shred? None of those practices are good for our environment, which eventually makes it bad for economy, country, mom/pop/kids. I kinda get where you are coming from, but its become so common to blast "big business" when so many "little" guys are not doing their part either. In the end, people call for our leaders to overregulate, tax and basically turn our industries into state-run companies. Lets ease up on the rhetoric and let your spending $ do your talking. One thing about all businesses is that they learn to adapt when the bottom line is affected or else close the doors.
