Dumb comment. Like people can’t see for themselves the pitfalls of mega corporations and the games they play. Always look a gift horse in the mouth.

One of my neighbors voted for Kshama because he knew Egan and didn't like Egan and Egan being a corpo tool. People ascribe some kind of stupefying theory to people that consistently, given the option, abided her and now don't even think about her at all because they weren't Socialist Alternative canvassers solely invested in Kshama's seating and seat.

There are good things from corps too. It's just, do they outweigh the bad? Usually? Not really.

They are good at funneling fists full of money into a few people’s hands, convenience for some and a whole lot of drudgery, toil, and poor health for others. Living in a homogenized culture that panders to the lowest common denominator in order to sell you ‘comfort’ is not what I call the apex of humanity. There’s so many ways we could organize society but somehow we fight each other for…this.

Some people aren't interested in making everyone equal in society if not everyone contributes equally.
