The most direct thing is the government and all the things it does to “help” us. The assumption is without government helping us we would not have these things, but that not necessarily true, and you get more than just the most direct thing.
If the left side is about being informed why do they push for the least informed people to vote or get the right to vote?
You’re right, my life would be so much better if government stopped interfering with corporations’ right to exercise monopoly power and wage theft. I wish government would just let them do their jobs properly and compel us into total debt bondage.
Well let me inform you, it was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the history of the world. Big corporations made bank and the little guy was harmed, all directly due to government policies.
I never said the current government protects us from corporations. We have a corporate oligarchy in the US. The point is that it could, and without it, things would be much worse.

Did the government response to covid help or harm big corporations? Small businesses?
You mean where our government funded/made a vaccine? I think that probably saved a lot of lives. Idc about the businesses.

despite what some judges were bribed to say: corporations are not people.
Sorry, bub.
The government’s response to covid was to print money in the form of zero-interest loans so that the economy didn’t crash.
Loans to rich
As well as a bunch of other things. But long story short; big business did great, little business did really bad.
And? I forgot what we’re talking about. Neoliberal capitalism favors monopoly.
We are arguing about how you think the government is protecting you from corporations, when the exact opposite is happening.
