"The government has a defect. It's _potentially_ democratic. Corporations have no defects. They're pure tyrannies."
- Noam Chomsky
- WalterBright 5y agoTell us about the last time a corporation ordered you to do anything?
- nopzor 5y agoyou make a good point and i agree with you, especially today. but, to answer your question in earnest: a long time ago - east india company? dole fruit?
- WalterBright 5y agoTEIC was a quasi government operation, not a corporation as we know them today.
- nopzor 5y agoagreed. but does that also apply (though obviously not to the same extent i’d admit) to say halliburton?
- abenga 5y agoA corporation can change the world around you to your massive detriment without your input. Poison your river, pollute your air, etc. They don't have to tell you to do anything to harm you without recourse.
- WalterBright 5y agoYou can sue them for harm done to you. People do it all the time.
