Excerpt from NBR -- "Society gives [corporations] a license to operate by making certain concessions and accommodations to businesses. And they employ large numbers of people, affect large numbers of communities all across the globe. So, they are a part of civil society, and how they go about doing their business, how they create goods and services and how they market those services have a huge impact on society. So, it's not at all surprising that in the wake of this tragedy, the politicians have rallied very swiftly and the retailers have rallied to make changes that probably should have been made quite a long time ago."
