>> Capitalism, baby!
I know what you are saying and fully agree but would like to put a finer point on it: the problem is with unfettered capitalism, especially after 100 years or more of the lawyers writing the laws for the wealthy, who own the vast majority of the corps.
What we need is a balance between the entrepreneurial spirit of capitalism and governments that enforce corporate responsibility to its human workers and our communal environment. The corps have very effectively massaged the legal systems of the world into removing almost all notions of corporate responsibility. And here we are.
- newsgremlin 8y agoCorporations can't win big if they aren't exploiting some workforce somewhere. Whether it's keeping their skilled employees quiet on the shady business and anti-consumer practices through the veiled threat of job stability and thus their lifestyle, or the ones on the other side of the globe slaving away constantly to meet demands of their products or raw materials at the prices they dictate and not by the labour put into making the product.
