So, just like the government, then.
- vkou 8y agoExcept that with many governments, you have democratic or procedural recourse (When some low level clerk at the DMV arbitrarily cancels your driver's license, you can almost certainly escalate, demand more transparency, etc. When some low level clerk at Amazon closes your account, you are screwed. Appeals will give you no transparency.) With business, your only recourse is the equivalent of moving to a different country. It's the perfect storm of bureaucracy, the-computer-said-it-so-it-must-be-true, for-profit motives, and lack of transparency.
- ConceptJunkie 8y agoYes, when the government is acting as intended, this is the case, but it's far too easy for evil people to use government power to do evil things. And the more powerful we make government, the more this happens. And in those cases, you seldom have recourse.
