11. Yes, a business is an inanimate facade, the actions done behind it are those of humans

When a facade is constructed as a palisade, a barrier to keep out the rabble, it's called a castle.

When the primary occupation of the resident of a castle is to direct wealth transfer, such establishments are the Great Halls of robber barons.

They need to be checked, but the ediface of business provides them protective walls.

Some among us have noticed that the robber barons have used their resources and influence for the specific purpose of minimizing our capacity to do that. They have achieved a noble status mostly beyond our reach.

The pirate princes control government and direct militarized police forces against any who would even clamor about the abuses following from 'business decisions' made behind the insulating walls of the facade.
