    A Swedish company not being evil? What are they, the opposite of America?

          Right. But based on context clues, it’s implied that the full meaning of the post was “Volvo did something for the public good, therefor Volvo is good. Volvo is a Swedish company. Swedish companies are good. Sweden is in Europe. European countries are good. American countries are bad. Novo Nordisk did something bad. It must be an American company.

          Admittedly, my mistake was not being more clear about the point of my response which is that geography is irrelevant - capitalism and all companies are evil (or at best, amoral).

            That was in no way what I was saying, which about U.S. companies pretty much never doing the right thing and European companies actually doing that sometimes.
