It would be pretty funny for a court to actually determine that a “just business” is synonymous with “doing evil”

In general I think business is not good or evil. They just operate on law frameworks given to them.

If company can be 30% more efficient by being more "on the edge" of law and regulation, it is more probably going to succeed.

This is why governments must regulate the hell out of everything, because the system itself is not doing it. It should include data protection, unions, environment etc.
