    Not a corporation. They’re not “incorporated” and are not publically traded (afaik).

    They’re a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they’re not beholden to stockholders.

    To me, companies like them aren’t the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.

      Public companies don’t have to be evil, despite popular belief. It’s a choice. Meanwhile, private equity is at least as consistently evil. Public/private is not in itself the problem. Greedy, sociopathic assholes are the problem.
