Yeah, you can choose between Google or Apple. Hooray.
It's practically impossible to avoid Google if you value having a social life. Enough people have tried.

Oh yeah great, so it's even worse than Reaganomics.
At least a government csn be kept in check by a construction and can be changed by elections.
On the other hand, corporations have no obligations towards you at all. It's the entire point of private enterprise that they can do what they want and don't owe any responsibility.
- scarface_74 3y ago> At least a government csn be kept in check by a construction and can be changed by elections. That’s cute in theory. But the way that the electoral college is designed, the Senate with two votes, gerrymandering etc that doesn’t work out too well in practice. Democracy works fine if you’re in the majority - well not actually see all of the caveats above - but that doesn’t work if you are in the minority - any type of minority. > It's the entire point of private enterprise that they can do what they want and don't owe any responsibility. I could argue the same about law enforcement, imminent domain, civil forfeiture, and getting harassed because I “look suspicious”
