The only exception I can think of is Walmart, who turned their little town in NW Arkansas into a cycling oasis. But you could easily argue that they did that selfishly because no one wanted to live in Bumfuck, AR and work for them, but the people benefitted, regardless.
Yeah the Waltons aren't super liked outside of that little town, and there are plenty inside it who aren't fond of them anymore as the city bends to their whims. Sometimes you benefit from what they do, sometimes it fucks up something you liked already. A little of their guilt money is in my nonprofit's bank account. I am happy to be using it for things they'd probably hate.
I didn't say anything about liking them.
