Cliff notes?
That's the problem, really. Numerous companies do unspeakable evil, which makes it very difficult to name and shame any one of them.
Right. Corporations aren't the problem, they're just a symptom of the real problem. Even though they're evil, they're just a product of their environment. The "good" corporations aren't profitable and go out of business.
I don't know if there's a phrase in english for it, but in slovak we say a fish stinks from the head, basically meaning company is whatever the very top managers are like.
We have "a fish rots from the head down", so very similar.
That’s a good idiom, I like it.
