I doubt shareholders are pissed considering the stock has grown 500% since 2009 while paying decent dividends.
> big companies go along with this behavior and collude with the government
Isn't that called mercantilism?
> big companies go along with this behavior and collude with the government, but if this has a big enough effect on the bottom line, then it will happen less.
It hasn't affected their bottom line yet.
It is concerning how intertwined large corporations are with government.
