Corporations are beholden to their stockholders, not the customer.

Any business is a balancing act between customers, stockholders
(owners), and employees. On top of that, throw in the government,
general public, media and financial services just for good measure.

My advice? Become a stockholder. It's very satisfying to be a
stakeholder in a well run business.

It's also very satisfying to be a stakeholder in a gov't that does
something for people.

Government should be the service provider of last resort for things
that no one else can do. Anything else is socialism.

For military, homeland security, police, fire, environmental
regulation, environmental disasters, mentally ill, poor people,
criminals.... All those things too?
