Society doesn't care when big business fails, but those businesses have the money and power to make the government care, so they get help. The rest of us don't have the ability to make the government care about us, so we get screwed, and the government just shrugs.
- pixl97 3y agoThis is slightly incorrect. Big businesses have a lot of employees. Even if just a small percentage of those employees contact their representatives and get on the news, it's still a much larger and more focused message then individuals doing it about individual problems. A big business failing becomes a very loud squeaky wheel.
- maxrecursion 3y agoA vast majority of people want the federal government to legalize weed. I think the average of polls is over 70% of the population. Even on polls of just conservatives it's over 50%. It's the most obvious no brainer thing to do, that a majority agrees on across the board, in a time where they agree on nothing else. Yet, it isn't happening because powerful alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical lobbies are against it. People can unite and call representatives all they want. Unless you can primary a representative in a local election they won't give a crap, and will gladly please their donors.
