The fact that corporation does something useful for _someone_ doesn't mean they don't do it by exploiting everyone else. And in many markets monopolies form naturally, eg due to network effect. Facebook is a good example.
- nickpp 4y agoEagerly awaiting for some examples of corporations exploiting everyone without alternatives. Meanwhile my government is taking 50% of my monthly income giving me in return the shittiest services, services I would gladly buy from the free market instead. Facebook is indeed an excellent example of an often vilified corporation which is: 1. not a monopoly (plenty of competition around, from twitter to tiktok and even this very site) 2. providing its services to users happy to give their attention and privacy in return 3. easily replaced - my kids don't even use it and escaping it is simply... not using it really

Good luck buying law enforcement, roads, or healthcare, on a free market. Once again - consider moving to a country that’s not shit.
