> how do you feel about the aggregated will of citizens currently being enacted federally?
It's certainly not perfect, but it seems to work fairly well. I certainly haven't received any ballots to select, say, the next CEO of Meta, so I'll take it over ceding all authority to corporations.

Less accountable than a corporation that is beholden only to faceless shareholders? Seems unlikely to me.
- sershe 1y agoYou are a forced customer of a bureaucracy, so the standards are a little bit different. Corporations are accountable to their paying customers. Not perfectly. However, your ability to hold Meta or Amazon or whatever to account for things you paid for, and the ability to not pay/use them anymore is, while not as extensive as ideal, a lot more extensive than the same for FDA or ICE.
