Exactly. Most businesses screwing ordinary people over are not "mom & pop" restaurants, they are large corporations raking in huge profits with CEO's who have more money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes let alone 1.
Have a lot of experience running multi billion dollar corps GStan?
Why do you think people invest in Apple instead of other companies? Think it might be they're hoping for some cut of those huge profits? Or is because they want to help the company provide for the little guy?
What about the company? They have hot products now, but that comes and goes. (ask Sony) Think they have any interest in amassing maximum wealth to ride out periods where their competitors have the hot product? Think Sony and AMD wish they had more in the bank?
How about the American empoloyees of Apple? Think they want the company less profitable and less prepared for downturns? My guess is they have mortgages.
Per usual, only looking at the lowest link in the chain and saying "Damn them. They should do more for the lowest links in the chain!".
You don't understand:
A. Business only cares about you to the extent they can profit from your efforts, "your" job is a mechanism to make them money.
B. Business only exists to create profit for owners. Not make video cards you like, not to help out guys that can't start business.
Business/labor is adversarial, your only "power" is the cost and/or difficulty to replace you.
