Which is why capitalism is the best. The accountability is a de facto part of the system. If a business does something that no one likes, no one shops there and the business goes out of business.
Simple.
It isn't that simple. Accountability cannot be reasonably equated with someone craving candy bars. As I've sai before here, I should be able to drink a Coke (or whatever) without supporting some third world tyrant. Or if I wanted, I could adopt Protosar's view of "that's their problem" and magically the problem is solved.

No, as I said, it's be extremely hard to effectively boycott Coke, or any other popular product. So it hardly even matters, ultimately.
