Macuu222,
You might be right that KTA will ultimately do what they need to do to maintain their profitability. But only if your assumption is correct that we, the community, are powerless victims. And we very well might be.
Another assumption you're making is the kind of company KTA is (again, your assumption might be correct.) Just understand that profitability comes in different flavors: long-term and short-term, sustainable and non-sustainable. The elite, enduring companies of the world invest in communities and work with them, often times sacrificing profits in the short-term with an eye on sustaining over the long-haul. These are typically privately held companies with a social conscience and practical understanding of our inter-connectedness (businesses need a healthy society to survive). I have no idea what kind of company KTA is, just saying that you can't paint all companies with the same brush. (And yes, I'm fortunate to have elite companies as clients, companies that have helped me sustain through the toughest of times.)
A company with a long-term vision would choose to be a good corporate citizen and work with the community to find the right balance. Hopefully KTA is such a company.
