You are saying that a company(!) can make a conscious(!) choice. That’s... well, a little bit too much.


"<company name>" is pretty much always a shorthand for "the people who choose to work for <company name>".

Next time you read something and think "The literal interpretation of this is ridiculous!", try to remember the Principle of Charity - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity


okay. so people who are citizens of the country <country name> are coerced to pay taxes and can not escape, but people who work for <company name> are not coerced to do their jobs. how so?

if you want to make an argument about consciousness then i can tell you that i absolutely consciously chose US as a country to live in, at the age of 41.
