In some cases they weigh the cost of a lawsuit with the profits of a sale and go ahead with the sale because they can bribe legislators with lobbyists and settle a lawsuit for less than they would make.
Say if a company with a patent to a GMO seed knew their crop would have serious side effects but they still produced it to sell more fertilisers and pesticides for improved profits.

So long as they lived long enough to birth another generation of consumers and laborers, sure. Why not.

The sad thing is most corporations do only look at the bottom line. I life is measured in dollars.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

They'd kill off everyone if they projected revenues exceeded expenses
