You are either a child or stupid, in any case, you shouldn't be posting on sites for the general public if people need to explain meaning of words to you. Or you are trolling on purpose, in which case, you are only make a fool of yourself.

To react to your second point about corrupted officials - a business does what it needs to in order to survive, that means following government requirements and sometimes government demands bribes. It is our job to elect officials who are not corrupted.

A business will do what it's told to do by the government - manufacture gas or weapons to murder millions o innocent f people, make nazi uniforms, ... If you blame the business, look at whose rules that business has to follow and whose pockets they have to fill if they are to survive and keep paying thousands of employees their wages.

          What I hate more than greed is control and hunger for power. That's never related to corporations whose only drive is money. It's governments who want total control and power. One day you'll realize it, but it could be too late.

So they decide to just fine left and right, cause well, their is no law to guide them or stop them. I do not know what country you are living in, apparently one that lacks understanding of what "Law" means. EU has laws and laws are being applied. Because of this laws and apple constantly breaking them, helps investigators to also constantly build cases against crapple. If their wouldn't be a law saying this and that pracrice is not allowed, then their would be no case against crapple now isn't it? Recover from fanboyims after that you'll probably see whats all about.
