Moderators note:   This topic was split off from:     Companies care about money. Communities are important while they help securing the income, and it's really simple like that. We are an asset, and we need to learn how to cope with it. This is not necessarily bad, besides uncomfortable - being a sentient asset have some advantages that can be beneficial to us if we learn to play the cards right. Just remember: Companies are not people, they are made of people.
