Never. The only time I would say something would be if a family member was being abused or a pet.

"If you say that it is just business, I cannot guarantee the placidity of my reaction."
~from The Pursuit of William Abbey by Claire North
"It is required of every man...that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide...Business! Mankind [should have been] my business. The common welfare [should have been] my business; charity, mercy, forbearance and benevolence, were [supposed to have been], all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
~~Jacob Marley’s ghost to Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Minding Your Own Business!
I'm pretty good at it
After getting a bit older, I observe young folks, and have learned to bite my tongue, feeling they'll one day figure it out
If I'm asked for advice, I'm generally a font of information
but knowing it might not be well taken
Older folks?
They're (we're) pretty set in their (our) ways
Best to just share the weather report

Usually whoever is saying "It's just business" is using their business practices or principles to hurt or deceive others.
That's what I have observed in my 60+ years of living. "It's just business" is an acceptable excuse in America to do wrong.
