whose sole purpose of existence is to create profits for its shareholders
How can you tell what its "purpose" is? For example, Nike's marketing suggests its purpose is manufacturing athletic equipment or promoting youth sports.
Nike isn't a person. It doesn't have feelings or opinions or thoughts . Its existence is summed up by legal contracts which are obligations between the shareholders and the corporation and those legal contracts obligate the corporation to act in a fiduciary manner to create returns on the investments.
