There's this idea a lot of people have that harmful or unethical behaviour is fine, it's talking about it that's the real problem.
That bad behaviour, even when it's conducted in public, is a private issue. And it's only ever used to protect the powerful from the consequences of their own actions.

I should care more about Uline's politics, but what really grinds my gears are the heavy catalogues, reminiscent of old phone books, that they mail to businesses unsolicited. Heavy junk mail is even worse than regular junk mail.
