Corporate America is the sole beneficiary when we divide ourselves and dehumize each other.
Having our leadership composed of either radical ideologues or corporate cronies simply seals our fate.
The real enemy are the multinational corporations that cant wait to auction off our country one piece at a time.
Name the specific corporations and what specific actions they are taking to do all this bad stuff.
Lol, that reminds me of the old joke about four professors wanting to buy three ancient relics, swords owned and worn by Julius Caesar.. Since there were only three swords, someone was going to have to settle for a share of the money from the sale of the rest of the artifacts, but each of them desperately wanted one of the three swords, the money did not matter so much to these archeologists.
So they settled on a method to decide who got them. The Youngest of the group of archeologists would ask each of them a question, and the first one to get the answer wrong would forfeit his claim to the swords.
So the first one was asked what was the date the Titanic sank, and the reply was swift, 'April 14th 1912.' The young questioner thought that would be a little harder than it turned out so he asked the second claimant, 'How many died in that disaster?' 'Give or take a few dozen due to the variations of expert opinions, at least 1500 people died that day.'
Clearly frustrated at his sinking chance to get one of the precious swords, the questioner made his last question a biut harder, 'OK, so name them all!'.
So no, I am not going to
name them all, lol, but I can give you a
few examples of the abuse of corporate power.
RCA swindled
Philo Farnsworth of his patent rights and profits for inventing the electronic television. They knew his patent was valid and eventually they would lose, but they calculated that the profits they made from selling TVs without paying patent royalties far outwieghed the legal costs of tying it all up in court indefinitely. RCA was able to get away with this grand scale thievery by its crony network in the US Congress. and army of lawyers and lobbyists.
Robert Kearns who invented the intermitent windshield wiper was similarly treated to blatant theft of his invention by Ford and Chrysler. He saw very little of his profits he should have made for his invention, but the corporate legal mercenaries hired by the automobile industry tied the case up in court for decades, just like Farnsworth.
We could also talk about BPs Deepwater disaster that has cost the economy of the Gulf of Mexico hundreds of billions of USD in lost revenues, the loss of one third of the fishing areas down there due to environmental damage, and the BP management that is responsible has never seen the inside of a jail cell despite all that damage to the US Gulf coast. Despite the FACT that the disaster was entirely due to BP refusing to follow legal safety restrictions in their operation not even one went to prison.
We could talk about Union Carbide who caused the biggest industrial catastrophe known to human history in
Bhopal, India, in which 500k people were exposed to toxic chemicals, over 25k murderers resulting from that and over 200k children and 3k pregnant women were made into cripples for the rest of their lives. None of the negligent management spent any more time in jail than however long it took to process their bail, if even that much. The Corporate Crony network in the USA got SCOTUS to reject extradition of significant actors in this disaster, too.
We could talk about the tens of thousands of deaths caused by criminal activity in the US by illegal aliens who make up more than 25% of our prison population. We could talk about the 50k+ deaths due to heroin that crosses that open border, or the narcotics trade, or the human trafficking or the sexual merchandising of children that goes on there, the loss of American jobs and property, all so Walmart and its band of Beltway Pirates can exploit cheap black market labor. They have managed to tie up the construction of adequate security measures passed in 1986, 2006 and the efforts to secure the border today. They have even been able to convince half the US population that there really isnt a crisis at all with our border, despite the magnitude of this open border being ten times that of any typical hurricane or flood. They can do this because they literally have about 45,000 lobbyists that work their 'magic' on Congress EVERY DAMNED DAY. This is far more than the number of average citizens that speak to or visit Congresscritters each day, far more. The lobbyists have professional line place holders stand in line for them at the office of our Congressmen, and the public rarely can see their own congressmen unless they manage to set up an appointment first. Good luck with that, lol.
I could go on and on and on on this topic, but yes, corporations kill people, steal their fortunes and worst of all rob from our children before they even have a chance to vote.
Now you sound like a libertarian, so I doubt I have made a dent in that ideologically bound mind you likely have, but thats OK. Your species is in collapse.
It always amazes me how people who hare corporations want to pass laws against both corporations and people. Which means violent force.
Lol, really? When was the last time you had that force applied to you personally? RCA, Union Carbide, BP and Ford dont seem to be bothered by it.
On the other hand corporations only want me to buy their goods and services and they cannot do a damn thing to me if I refuse to do so.
If you truly think that is accurate, then you are
sorely misinformed.
They have shifted about half their tax burden they had in 1950, as a percentage of federal intake, onto private citizens. You have to wear a seat belt in your car courtesy of the auto manufacturers who wanted to delay implementing legal requirements to install air bags. And the entire Far left organizations from la Mecha to Black Lives matter to the ACLU are financed by the
Ford Foundation as a way of dividing the working class against itself while they loot the whole globe and constrict your legal and civil rights to speak your mind. They have created the most ubiquitous social networking forums and now are endeavoring to purge it of dissenting voices, all people who have done no violence to anyone, while they still keep Antifa on everything everywhere, lol.
But if you keep playing cheerleader for them, I'm certain that your slot for the Hangmans Noose will be bumped down several months, roflmao.
