The company wants to make money,

That's their sole and proper aim in life.
Caveat emptor.

exactly, it is only by making money that they can pay employees and

also
pay
tax which goes towards the paying of all those civil servants, public

health
workers, and similar

But it also means they may not bother to be too careful about
helping their customers to attend to the proper choices, the refuges
if it means selling less GM seed, or herbicide or pesticide if it
frightens the customer off to draw their attention to the
instructions.


You might as well, and with as much evidence, claim that actually it is

the
civil servants living of these immoral earnings which drive them to it.


The refuges may be in the Monsanto contracts, but can the civil
servants police what the farmers do?


a government which passes a law and makes no attempt to police that law has
failed in its responsibilities

It is up to the local Monsanto
agent.


perhaps you would like private companies to be made responsible for other
forms of crime prevention and the administration of justice?
