Companies like Eli Lilly, Merck, GSK, Bristol-Meyers Squibb cause and perpetuate massive amounts of human suffering. I view them on the same level as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Input?

That's fair, but it would at least take part of the incentive for wars and destabilizing the world away.
Would you consider the Chinese military companies to not be evil just because they work under the state? I get that they have to defend themselves, power projection is necessary, etc.
I feel like weapons of war are inherently morally bad, or at least neutral if used for the right reasons. Providing medical care, on the other hand, is an inherently good thing that we have twisted for profit... Which could be an argument against me haha. Apples and oranges, I guess.
