"slightly eroding the rights of workers". Seems bad enough to me.
How often are the rights of mega corporations slightly eroded? And how do those erosions hold under the weight of appeals by megacorps lawyer hordes and lobbyists?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoThe rights of mega corporations get eroded very frequently. I think even anti-corporate activists will admit to that. Their concern, generally, is that corporate rights should be not eroded through gradual tiny reforms but blown away completely.
- thelittleone 6y agoFair point. Intuitively though it seems the net of mega corps erosion of rights vs accretion of rights is firmly in their favor.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoThe rights of mega corporations to exploit particular things is eroded frequently by regulation, however the size and power of mega corporations are such that they can devote considerable effort to finding new things to exploit that have not been effectively regulated yet. They can of course also devote resources to stop regulation of their favorite areas of exploitability.
- vimax 6y agoAlso, the large corporations have the lobbying money to influence regulation. Once their behavior is egregious enough to warrant regulation, they able to twist it to be a barrier to entry for new players further entrenching their own position.
