I believe governments should be different from corporations, and their goal should be to empower the people that drive the greater good in society, vs exploiting those same people's time for capital

- burrows 5y agoYou’ve just replaced the word “empower” with “exploit”. Do you have some technical definition for the word “exploit”?
- jareklupinski 5y agoto define it i would focus on the contrast: the return of an exploit goes directly to the exploiter, the return of an empowerment is spread among the group of supporters who funded the empowerment exploitation is a one-to-one mapping, while empowerment is one-to-many? seems to feel like "the difference between a religion and a cult...."
