The "corporate" theme in the OP isn't or wasn't really the best way to frame the topic IMO but I half agree with your statements.
In comparison to the suggestion that corps are doing this damage, your corp isn't even a gnat speck on the radar of those being implied in the OP
my junk is ugly

Looks like I really struck a nerve, got mod proffesionalism in its finest form here. Somehow posting a thread about the truth of pollution, and bad practices that destroy our land, air, and water, seems to be a major threat. It has people acting in an absurd manner.
Are you earth destroying defenders saying we cant do these things without destroying the earth? And please try to answer in a normal way. You are giving away your agenda. This was a pretty strong reaction to a pollution thread don't ya think?
We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

One, great, unlike JAP and CO, you have seperated out free-market capitalism from the coporate collusion of government and corporation. THere goes theit thesis up in smoke.
Two, like any good liberal/socialist you fail to see any fault in the government you need to support because you believe it can fix things for you. You missasign power to corporations who have none other than want they obtain through rent seeking as favors from the government.
I'll leave the rest uncommented on.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
Inasmuch as corporations are a part of the market, they can attain what they want only by providing goods and services people as consumers want and value. The idea that "....corporations increase their market values with lies, fraud, and felonious business practices..." in a market is absurd for people as consumers do not valie lies, fraud and felonies and will go elsewhere to get what they value.
But they are also legal entities controlled by government regulation and in cases seek unfair advantage through rent seeking favors from the government. This collusion is corrupt.
