This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.
No Libertarians have that philosophy.
Their philosophy is "No one should stand in my way to make profit, and I should never have to spend one cent on anything I don't want to."
Libertarians are hardcore Republicans who are smart enough to not state they are Republicans. They are True Believer Objectivists, and there is nothing admirable about them.
