    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.

        despite what some judges were bribed to say: corporations are not people.

        Sorry, bub.

        You mean where our government funded/made a vaccine? I think that probably saved a lot of lives. Idc about the businesses.

          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.

        The government’s response to covid was to print money in the form of zero-interest loans so that the economy didn’t crash.

          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.

                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.

                  This tells me you think the government protects us from corporations.

                    It has in the past and could again in the future. What is the alternative you are proposing? Less government intervention? More corporate autonomy?
