    Wouldn’t it be sick if once your company got up to a net worth of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS you’d just stop trying to shoehorn in new ways to make profit?

      It’s comically perverted and epicly sad that leaders with power in society don’t stop this kind of thing.

        I’ve been questioning whether the current implementation of democracy can work in a modern world, where corporate entities can grow beyond the size of government.

        As long as the people is represented by a smaller subset of the people, corporations wont need to please the people. Only the representatives. The same way that in the US, the electoral college means your vote technically doesn’t have direct power, there’s a disconnect between people voting for not getting screwed, and that sentiment actually becoming law.
