You know damn well what JimmyJamz meant.
You're very literalist when it suits your purpose.
We have labor laws, fire codes, food safety laws, environmental laws, etc., because businesses cannot be trusted to do the right thing entirely on their own.
Numerous businesses, large and small, ignore humanity's effect on the biosphere because it is in their financial interest to do so. Financial spreadsheets very conveniently leave out harm to the environment of business' actions. Trump played to the coal miners and calls global warming a hoax, because it was politically advantageous to do so -- and because too many Americans, including Trump, can't be bothered to change their habits.
