It's going to be hard to make that stick when the entire business model of these companies is based on avoiding as much personal, social, and corporate responsibility as possible.
The real question is political - should we consider this kind of entrepreneurial activity a good thing, when its effects are so uniformly negative for most of the population?
And that's an old question - who should benefit the most from the social value created by work, and why?
At the moment the game is rigged to reward those who are motivated primarily by greed and self-importance. I'd suggest that's not just an unintelligent way to do these things, it's also a really expensive way - because the value of the missed opportunities created by lost economic activity and lack of broad spectrum prosperity is almost unimaginably huge.
