#FALSE: There is a common belief that corporate directors have a legal duty to maximize corporate profits and “shareholder value” — even if this means skirting ethical rules, damaging the environment or harming employees. But this belief is utterly false. To quote the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the recent Hobby Lobby case: “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.”

Emphasis because people need to wake the fuck up and learn the truth instead of perpetuating corporate propaganda

That is not what I said. I said they have a duty to their shareholders, to act in their best interest, not to maximize profits. You're incorrectly putting words in my mouth.
