Even if the leadership of a company is focused on making money, a lot of the organization below that leadership might very well be focused on providing a good service. Which for a food producing company would mean feeding people. A lot of time there’s a synergy between making money and providing a good service.
You could also say that the leadership of a communist country doesn’t care about feeding people, they care about the people not revolting out of hunger. There’s a kind of positive synergy there too.
The reality is that the selection pressure for companies is to make profit. Providing a good service tends to be more expensive than using shady business practices, hence why we see companies use shady business practices. And once a company gets large enough to become an effective monopoly then it doesn’t even have to provide a semblance of a good service because there are no viable alternatives customers can use. Telecom industry in North America is a perfect example of that.
The leadership of a communist country caring about people not revolting is a much more direct incentive to provide better lives for people than the indirect incentive of a profit motive.

Crazy how we could just pass a law outlawing billboards and ads like this. But we don't.
There are voter initiatives in so many states, but we don't use them for anything fun. Just carrying water for Uber to protect it from its employees or finding new ways to oppress minorities.
Moaning about a lack of robust privacy for 3rd party apps while on a platform with a public record of every users up and down votes is a pretty rich. That data is a gift to the advertisers and you can bet it is being mined already. If I had the skill that would be the topic I made a meme about.
just had a three-hour brawlfest caterwaul with the editors, who happen to be a friggin council of raccoons and opossums, and I REFUSE to be cute for this stupid book, UNLESS I GET SCRITCHES AND SNACKS
Yes, being in a relationship, especially when you live with your partner presents new challenges you wouldn’t have on your own, but learning how to overcome those challenges is how you become a better person.
Learning how to compromise, when to compromise and when not to compromise (and when to back down because there is no compromise) is a brilliant skill to have
