    Maybe it’s time to get better at researching companies before major decisions. Do you have a system in place for doing background research on future large purchases?

    That shame is no use unless it helps you update your behavior. Shame about a “one-off” decision in the past will continue to nag you until you figure out how to avoid the same mistake in the future.

    So how can you avoid realizing ten years out that some big purchase you made supported someone you disagree with? How can you do it in advance?

      When you can predict the behavior of a company 10 years out, you pet me know. I’ll make you my banker.

      Until then, that whole comment is hot garbage.

      Don’t be a dick. No one’s going around investigating the corporate culture of every parent corporation that they buy their product from because they’d be at it all damn day.

      Did you even watch The Good Place that’s the whole point of the show, you can’t be a “good” person based on absolute morals, because it’s impossible in the 21st century as the world is too complicated.
