  1. You are free to not spend money there
  2. If you took this logic and turned it around, i could see an argument saying the moment you stop helping society why should we let you exist

I agree that in the best interests of having a pleasant place to live, or elected officials should force them to sell at not so great a profit. I feel like "they shouldn't be allowed to exist" is a poor way to put it.

People who don't help society end up in prison and corporations aren't people.

besides the example i gave actually harming people, and them not being in prison, to go from "people who don't help society" to murder is kind of a stretch isn't it?

you realize it's possible to neither help nor harm society.

i am canadian, are we limited to examples only of canadian's who harm societies, C suite of loblaws isn't in jail are they?
