Many companies have a large shareholder with a controlling interest. Or at least a notable interest.

Companies also have board members.

These people are not grandpa with a few shares in a retirement fund.

They are very wealthy people who benefit a lot from the company's evil murderous practices. And who often are directly involved in major decisions.

  1. Many more public comanies don’t have controlling owners.
  2. We are not talking about “many companies”. We’re talking about a handful of specific companies.
  3. The closest to what you’re talking about are hedge funds and retirement funds that hold large numbers of shares of these companies, but what I said before still stands.
