Here are two small examples of corporate malfeasance and/or less than wonderful behavior......I didn't even have to look for them. The first one has to do with the nuclear reactor in Japan. No effort was made by Tepco to help the residents surrounding the plant who were forced to stay indoors by the radiation. They were supplied no provisions. So a couple of weeks after the quake, the mayor of the city made a desperate plea for help on youtube: Japan Mayor on YouTube: 'I Beg You ... To Help Us' aolnews.com Everything I have read about Tepco suggests this should have been expected. At a time when cities are laying off workers, Twitter, the corporation, is exhorting the city of SF to give it more freebies....such as tax concessions.......to get it to stay in the city. Corps do this all the time, usually get the concessions and then frequently end up screwing the municipality in the end by not living up to their end of the bargain: How Twitter Extorted a Desperate City ca.gawker.com Now go back and ask your corporate minders how you should think about these two examples.
