I cannot tell if that is sarcasm or if you actually believe that.

I think it is considered bad if a company isn't or at least doesn't give the impression that it is socially conscious even if it is an illusion. Not sure why it is so bad but I know I didn't form a company to do anything more than make me money. Whatever good it does is incidental. Unfortunately, people love the images they get.

I wouldn't go for "everybody". "most" would be more accurate.

A result of the misguided War on Some Drugs, which is being discussed in another thread right now.
