Does the store own and control the police?
Why do people insist on making these trite comparisons between businesses and literal governments, especially governments that are straight up among the most powerful entities on the planet?
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoA lot of us just don't agree with the perspective that businesses and governments are on separate planes of existence and shouldn't be compared. I'm not sure how to close the inferential gap here.
- filleduchaos 5y agoBut they straight up are on separate planes of existence. Then again I keep forgetting that I am often talking to people who are so removed from the ill effects of the state that they can even begin to think that a company's actions can ever compare.
