Explanation:

Good sense? "Good Sense" to a business endeavor is about as meaningful as "Brand New". That is, a freaking outright opposite of the true, when not just a plain old flat lie...
Profit driven marketing is mostly to blame for all of the crap lying around we have to figure out how to recycle or dispose of. Even houses are disposable these days.

The difference between the government and the private sector here is that for some reason people don't hold the private sector responsible for wanting to do what's best for the people. But, I agree that there is unacceptable conflicts of interest in both sectors of modern civilization.
