There is no such thing as inherent value. I dare you to try measuring any such physical attribute.
Ok. How about the ability to keep one human alive for one day? Therefore, food, water, shelter, and heating (or cooling) have inherent value. As does anything that can be directly converted into one of these things, like seeds, hydrogen & oxygen, electricity, wood, bricks, and so on.
Unless you want to argue that human life has no value, in which case I can just shoot you and win the argument.
Apple cares about making as much money for its shareholders as possible. Period.
That is the purpose — the only purpose — of a business.
I seriously never understood this line of reasoning. Because they have a responsibility to their shareholders, corporations are somehow exempt from all moral and ethical responsibility in every other way? That's like saying, "A car's sole purpose is to drive. So it doesn't have to slow down for pedestrians in crosswalks."
Only God can make random selections.
