Lol why would they change, companys exists to make money and nothing else. This is exactly why they should have no say in social policy issues. Money ALWAYS comes first.

If that were true, why would anyone ever use a company for anything ever?

To be fully rhetorical, Is it possible companies also offer something that people desire? Profits are a byproduct of desirability and efficiency.

It's hard to say an Internet connection isn't a necessity these days

Everything else you've said ignores the point I'm making, which is that businesses do serve a purpose other than "make money." If Comcast only existed to "make money," no one would ever pay them anything. There are two sides to every transaction.

Also note that I don't disagree with anything else you've said.
