Where do I start
"According to the tale, the journalist was ushered into his hotel suite – strewn with empty champagne bottles after a wild party. A former Miss United Kingdom was freshening up in the shower and George sat in an armchair with a cigar and a huge glass of Scotch in his fist."
Ahh, the days, when men were men, and the rest of the world were not a bunch of narcissistic, pussified, whining, little snowflakes!
Now on to the article:
It's called corporations, and corporation are design to make money, money that pays salaries, salaries that buy other corporation's products and services. Do corporations sometimes do stupid, and possibly evil things in the course of making money, they sure do. Are some corporations so positioned that the customer just can't "take their money elsewhere?" Yup!
If you think the answer is government, you are hopelessly naive. Government does not do anything well and their efforts to "manage" corporations they do even worse. Examples throughout history are there for all to see. The breakup of Sun Oil made Rockefeller richer and more powerful than he was before the breakup! Laws are passed by politicians who are susceptible to money "donated" to their re-election funds. Therefore, to expect them to "regulate" multi-billion-dollar corporations in any way that effectively prevents them from doing shitty things that make them billions is ludicrous!
Capitalism turns thing into shit, but people make money, they earn wages, they live their lives and put up with the shit. Socialism with its controlled economy, over-regulations, turns everyone's life into shit, except the small group if Elites who run everything. It is feudalism without the titles and the fancy clothes. Whether you are a proletariat or a surf, your life is pretty much the same!
