I completely agree. This isn't so much a failure of business; it's a failure of the government to properly hurt businesses that enact policies that hurt workers and consumers. And in democratic countries with voters, it's also the failure of the voters.

This is why we need people like Lina Khan to be given much more power in society. There are good, liberal economists out there who understand that if you don't regulate externalities, then market systems will cause extreme disfunction in society. Smart economists understand this, elite rich people understand it, the problem is that the bottom tier of society that is ignorant and believes in religious myths is easily deceived by the upper classes.

The result is a society with progressively more unequal wealth distribution, rapidly descending into environmental hell, with a public that is mostly confused, religious, and idioticly upset about market conditions, but glad the evil trans girl won't be able to play softball.

All of these issues are part of the same problem: how do you convince the poor and stupid to not get tricked by the elite again? But perhaps it's just impossible. After all, the poor are mostly religious and believe in crazy things like virgin births and flat earth... Until the poor reject such lunacy, or society becomes so awful that they are compelled to reject it, there's really not much hope for change.

Absolutely this. We need mandated unions for every single company that exists. And with loopholes closed, like offshoring/outsourcing, corporate “headquarters” is a closet in Delaware, etc.

I started to Boycott Ubisoft when they started online DRM checks for single player games that you could not play offline anymore. It was with the release of Assassins Creed 2 and I think it was Settler 7. That was about 16 years ago.

Eh, I haven't boycott Ubisoft. But also, they don't make good games so I haven't bought any either. Might just make it official after this though.

They always have. The owners of industry crave for the days of the Golden Age of Capitalism where they get to be the robber barons instead of just hearing tales about their Grandpa.

"Wait your saying the guy that goes in and forcibly changes country regimes with murder is a baddie? No that can't be it...."

All Hail The FOX.

LMAO, a and o are on opposite end of the keyboard, how do you even do this?

French companies outside of France might as well be American with the way they treat non French workers.

Almost any large capitalist company, especially those that are publicly traded, will devour its own in the name of higher Q3 profits.
