    I don’t know that they’re THE most profitable businesses, but they’re definitely up there on that list. Oil belongs on the list too, that one’s just environmental exploitation rather than human exploitation. (Which is not to say environmental exploitation doesn’t negatively affect humans, it most certainly does)

      If we’re starting to be nitpicky we’ll we need to talk about animal agriculture as well…

        Yep, that ones definitely profitable and exploitative too

        Thats true of, at the very least: industrial agriculture, which has become the source for the overwhelming majority of food as a product of massive corporate consolidation in the meat packing industry. And I’d have to assume dairy and egg industries as well.

        I think one could probably debate back and forth on more traditional agricultural methods being wildly profitable and exploitative, with both those seperate points having their own nuances

    This is all false. Not even remotely true.
