    Corporations want one thing, profits.

    If you can make profit by enslaving people, cutting corners with health and safety standards, and polluting the environment, they will. If they don’t, they’ll get “out competed” by the companies that do and drive the “inefficient” companies out of business. Then we get monopolization which we can’t do anything about because that’s regulation.









  • It’s not terribly different, just with less focus on the optics and mildly more brazen.

    We invaded Iraq for oil, we’re gearing up to invade Venezuela for oil.

    We have been cruel and exploitative to undocumented migrants for quite some time, but now it’s just dialed up and a little extra racist.

    They’re just doing it all in a way that makes you feel gross, which you should, but having shame about the evil being done doesn’t change the material harm.
