Too many big words for my french brain to understand

No clue where you're getting it from that I'm saying that. They are, and they've done more for most charities than any non-profit, and more effectively. Because their workers get paid if and only if they get results, and positive publicity from charities makes the company money. They have better motivation.

Motivation to make dat cash. For their pockets. For their companies. Giving back is a by-product, and one often done to make the company look good. When you say "they've done more for most charities than any non-profit" that's about capacity not motivation. That makes sense, as no charity out there will ever be as big as Apple. For-profit's primary motivation is not to make the world a better place. Its sad but true. Their charitable initiatives are great, but, to bring it back to the beginning, 'motivation' cannot be greater than those organizations who exist entirely for their pet missions, which are by definition not monetary.

Just sticking up for charities yo.

I don't see how it matters WHY they want to make the impact. Fact of the matter is money is a bigger motivator than happy thoughts. If you want to split ends over that, I'd then argue that for most charities the people at the top are the ones who really care about the cause and internalize it. In for-profits, every single person internalizes it because money.

I'd love to live in a world where butterflies and rainbows run the world but when it comes down to it, put money down and you'll get more done with the same "capacity."

Profit-based companies generate more revenue and some of that goes towards helping the community, generally more than a non-profit which can barely stay a float and doesn't provide as many services as it could because it's not profit-based.

You seem convinced that employees in the for-profit world are rewarded monetarily by their bosses for trying to make the world a better place? That's... not a thing. You have huge faith in companies doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do, and I'm saying the exact opposite. It's your butterfly and rainbow world not mine
