> Now, those are some examples that are backed by law or contracts
exactly what i was thinking when i read your examples.
this isn’t trust in the company, it’s trust in societal infrastructure.
> if you don't trust any company in any way, then you could be missing out on some of the benefits of said company
maybe, but you haven’t shown that in your arguments. i would love to be convinced otherwise but have seen too much evidence to support the idea that companies should always be held at arm’s length.
individuals in the company can be great. but even they will stand by while you are put through the ringer because, understandably, they have their own problems (kids, mortgage, medicine etc) and you won’t be able to help them if they quit out of solidarity with you.
