      believes in free enterprise

      Like religion, that’s a concept the powerful made up to control the market.

      Truly “free” enterprise, IE unburdened by regulations, inevitably ends up with the powerful dominating the powerless.

      As I’m sure you’d agree, being dominated by someone who’s more powerful than you is nobody’s idea of free. In fact, even if you’re into it, it tends to be rather expensive.

      Building good product and services is a way to maximize profits. It really isn’t an either/or situation

      That used to be the case, sure, but nowadays there’s all sorts of ways to tweak profits that necessitates compromising on either quality (including treatment of workers) or profits.

      So if you want to maximize (achieve the maximum of) profits, you literally have to compromise the quality, how you treat your workers, or both. Almost all companies do both.

          I’ve only seen such opinions from Iron curtain countries that strive to get enough toilet. paper

          It’s not my fault you live in a bubble of people with no class consciousness or solidarity with the exploited majority.

          Good luck with that. And congratulations on always having enough toilet, paper.
