As convenient as that may be, I can't imagine financially supporting someone doing so much malicious damage to a country, maybe the world for such selfish reasons.

I would enjoy seeing your virtuous corporations list. "The devil you see in social media constantly and relentlessly" vs "the devil you never knew existed" seem... not all that different to me.

I suppose it's another way of saying "I'm exhausted trying to find the sucks-less providers of my everyday existence" which I grant is my own failing.

There's a difference in support inescapable indirect evil, and explicit, direct evil.

If there wasn't any difference, the terms would be synonymous, and yet they are not.

In case anyone was wondering, yes 600 miles from the North Pole is still pretty far north. Here’s one example - https://maps.app.goo.gl/skqZJ2JcB8R71nzP7?g_st=ic
