I think The companies would go out of business if the government did not subsidize them as a matter of public or national security interest. Do you think that would not be the case? It doesn't take much for a company with money to lobby for this and for the power of marketing and mainstream media to make the public perceive this as the right decision - in fact a study of our history would reveal this as the more likely scenario so as a company racing to render the labor market obsolete its in their interest to disrupt it to capture any amount of it.
- ef2efe 9mo agoThe end game is nationalisation lmao. How people cant see this is mad... It wouldnt be the first time in history a govt has taken into their hands an organisation that is deemed too powerful.
- funkyfiddler369 9mo agoif the government is owned by corporations via the stock markets than governments taking over organisations is privatization via a majority shareholdership and not nationalization.
- ef2efe 9mo agoAre you seriously this delusional? THe leaders of tech firms operate at the behest of Trump. Not the other way round.
- mannanj 9mo agoWho funds those tech firms? It's not Trump. His power is mostly theater to his constituents and those who funded Trump: spoiler: he's not entirely self funded, and some of his funding is at least from others so he's conflicted in his self interests to others. We call this a classic conflict of interest.
- funkyfiddler369 9mo agoHow did Trump get where he is? Who was and is his supply chain? Who made him? Who did he 'use' and 'need' to 'build himself'?
- mannanj 9mo agoYeah I can see that. Though the separation between "govenrment" and "corporation" is pretty thin already. So nationalization or corporitization, whatever you want to call it, its just a label for rich and powerful people concentrating power and deriving benefits.
