It is the way of the world. Television, magazines, social media, etc do their best to conceal it, but it is always there in the background. It boils down to power. Boeing can make fighter jets, I can't. This is where the socialists err. "If we just take their money!" They'll make it all back within the year. "If we just had a law!" They'll buy legislators, bribe judges & law enforcement. If that doesn't work, they'll kill people. The public will clutch its pearls over this, for a while anyway, then promptly forget.
The only solution is to remember and to retaliate on an individual basis (stop the wars, don't fly, shun execs, boycotts). And not just until they relent, because they are machines, and have no conscience. Do this until they hit the pink sheet, and then keep doing it.

- hello_computer 3y agoThe power is still there, as is the abuse. It just belongs to the government at that point. If anything, it is even worse then, since before we nominally had two entities with slightly different aims, and potential for a clash. Once it is all under the same umbrella, there is no longer even the appearance of checks-and-balances.
