Corporations are not human. They are 'fictitious persons'. They do not have families to care for, so they do not require good schools, affordable health care. They do not breathe, eat, or drink so they do not have to care about safe air, food, or water.

If the world became a toxic stew of chemicals, all that would be left would be cockroaches, Exxon, GM, BP and all the others. This would probably piss off the cockroaches.

Corporations can be 'programmed' to 'care', but in many cases the mantra of 'maximizing profits' means focusing on short term gains at the expense of long term issues like the environment, financial and political stability, etc.
