The Man Corporate America Is Most Afraid Of 

Exactly my thinking as well. Anything that upsets corporate America is good for actual Americans, full stop.

What an elegant litmus test

Time to take them to the wall

Trump and the GOP hate that too. They want more for corporate America and less for the working man with the excuse that the other is socialism

@kdavidsmith1 I agree. Still, why is a man Biden hired against corporations?

Exactly. It's just a show for the masses, their priority is to maximize profits for one another and laugh all the way to the bank while people engage in yet more tribal or partisan behavior on their behalf. They basically can't lose.

Whether it does or doesn't, what they're doing isn't right.

And that’s why unions need to exist: they kind of “course correct” towards competition re-entering the market. It’s not “real” competition, but it functions similarly, as the workers tell the company that they ain’t workin unless they can feed their family tonight. Even if it’s only in the job market, the products themselves are still fine if they’re still being bought, and so it wouldn’t matter. Jobs are good, nation is good. Otherwise, you’re just ASKING for major wealth inequality. I think if anything, free market capitalism and unionization rights CAN and SHOULD go hand-in-hand. Unions are the natural cap/speed bump to any monopoly, allowing room for the little guy, and allowing the workers to live like human beings.

@@ClarkamadorianYes, and that is why corporations are working so hard to replace workers with robots.

@@peacefulpossum2438 yup. That’s why we should also have some kind of automation tax: if it’s not as profitable to have robots, the company may reconsider. There are moral implications, like “does a person own what a robot makes,” but I’m more concerned with the economic impacts personally. It’d allow more people jobs instead of robot jobs. Unions also help, but if automation tax is implemented, going through the process of making a union for less robots taking jobs wouldn’t be as necessary, it’d help the workers.

Corporations are fast tracking a society where we own nothing while they own everything. Regulations need to stop all of this IMMEDIATELY

Because that's all employees actually are to most of them. They didn't used to have that kind of power, but this is what blanket deregulation gets you. People suddenly become commodities, and there's always someone out there willing to settle for less.

There should be a minimum salary threshold (at least $200k) for that to be enforceable and it also should include a payout of salary equal to the amount of time the noncompete is in effect or a charge a fee to buy out of it if another company tries to poach or hire that employee.

Where are all the "right to work" conservative assholes?

The only good thing I can say about Oklahoma is that those types of non-compete agreements are illegal here. The only kind that are enforceable are those that prevent back soliciting. i.e. I worked for your company to get it's client list then go to a competitor to offer the same goods to you customers, using what i learned working for you to my advantage.

And surprisingly, tho I'm sure it's coincidence the chairman's nephew is the only person who can do this so very hard job of CEO😊

I'm a CEO 😂. I literally have my own theme music.guess what track plays when I walk into the be room.

@@Gfish17 highway to hell?

And then claim your business is a good corporate citizen.

There's actually an answer to all of this. We can decide on regulations, tariffs and unions together, not through the apparatus of the Republic, but through the apparatus of an alliance of consumers, which, plainly, I call a Consumer's Alliance. We can operate as a collective boycott in this nation to keep wages high, prices low, regulations decent, and a union for every worker. We create a currency that we will refuse to exchange for others like the dollar, we have a direct democratic vote on who gets what, we can house the homeless and help the poor through slight inflation for a minimum income, all while punishing people who can work but refuse to. Top workers should make millions to, not just businessmen.

Absolutely.

@@campbellpaul it’s adorable that you think this is a western problem

@@campbellpaul Cramer is an idot, its been documented that if follow his advice you will lose money. All he does is buy a stock then tells everyone else to buy that stock, stock price goes up from demand, he sells. Everyone who bought at the top is left holding the bag.

Oh you know why

Democrats are the ones doing this bs behind the scenes n he’s the only one who’s clearly tired of wasting money like the rest of us…why would the rest wanna do that when they’re trying to go against a businessman like trump??

The same people that buy out politicians also buy the news.

Because the "news" is part of the problem.

The news media pretend to be on the side of the "oppressed," but we now know better. Social media, despite the pros & cons, are a threat to the one-sided "mainstream" media, controlled by the plutocrats.

Holy crap it's LONG overdue. If you want another big pro-consumer court case, look up Robert "Skeeter" Salim and his BlueCross health insurance lawsuit.

Oh no, people wanting to get as much value for the value they provide in return. How terrible

​@@maximemeis2867When you charge two different people two different prices for the exact same good simply because you CAN, then yes, it is horrible.

Here's the thing: we have no say. There's nothing the people can do within our current legal system to combat this. Water now costs $50 a gallon, what are you gonna do? Die of thirst? (Hypothetical example, good lord i hope nobodys dumb enough to think im saying water literally costs 50 bucks)

@@wavejumper3 Watch California Insider. Cali INTENTIONALLY flushes every rain excess they get ---directly into the ocean---! They use the excuse of protecting wildlife (even when the wildlife they say they are protecting is actually an INVASIVE species) California IS the poster child on how oligarchs can economically can circumvent all laws and starve us into submission while the uneducated thank them for it and help keep everyone else down.

Believe it or not, life was waaaaayyyy better without current technology. AI and tech in general is not the friend of mankind. If, like me, you are old enough to remember more than 50 years ago, you would know this to be true. Tech is currently being used against us, not for our good. 😮

Most people don't have a choice but to tangentially support them. They own most things must Americans use, need, or eat. You have to be an extremely conscientious and informed consumer to avoid all of them, and for everyone one of those they lose they'll pick up 3 more just from being the only real option. It's terrible, but that's just how enmeshed many of these conglomerates actually are.

And yet here we are on Google's RU-vid.

@@RevShifty We have a word for that, it's called a monopoly.

They ain't appealing to us as consumers and peasants. They just need to make it compelling for "investors".

Because they couldn’t get the hot girl in high school so they spend the rest of their lives operating with an inferiority complex. These are the same guys whos wifey is cheating on them because no amount of money will make up for their deep insecurity and psychosis

Yep which is why the same US neocons worked 'for free' to drive a wedge between the UK and Europe.Deregulate.Divide.Devour. When we fight for freedom,we should be clearer that it means freedom to live safe from the T-Rex not freedom for T-Rexs ;-)

They need to complain about their unelected orange king bossing them around.

They punish businesses for the crime of being successful. "Being for the little guy" is not justification for violating rights

@@maximemeis2867 So competition is bad? Inflation stemming from price gouging from monopolies is good?

@@PerryWagle competition is a result of freedom. That s it. If you don t think there s enough competition in a sector, feel free to enter it, compete and lower prices. But you have no right to demand competition and lower prices at gun point.

But Dems don't do anything about that either and LOVE a good merger that screws the middle class while upping their portfolio values. Corporations will say, "If we're bigger we can supply more & create lower prices" when in actuality it allows them to charge whatever they want because they have no competition - witness the price gouging going on at grocery stores right now and then look at how few owners of those stores there truly are. And our corrupt AF politicians on BOTH sides are investing in them due to inside information. They are literally insider trading with no repercussions!!! The only check they have is if WE pay attention and vote their asses out.

They're marketers, they never let facts or the truth get in the way of a persuasive narrative.

@@MMuraseofSandvich Even if that narrative is based, in whole or part, on lies.

They cry about a lot of things with one hand, and then feed the rich with the other behind their backs. There crying keeps there base voting against there own intrests.

Republicans are built to whine, they don't fix issues, they whine. They're literally blocking THEIR immigration bill because they don't wanna increase Biden's poll numbers.

The fact that NO ONE hears about this group of 800 people in mainstream media broadcasts should tell you a lot.

Call your local representatives. Tell them to speak out against monopolies

Vote for politicians that appoint and approve these types of people.

I voted for Porter and Adam Shit won. Money rules. We need to keep fighting and not give up.

Vote Democratic on all levels (judges is an important one)

Vote for Biden. Cuz you know Trump will install someone in this guy's job who's gonna undo all this progress.

Yeah, it seems like it shouldn't be legal

Maybe hold off on the tattoo. You don't wanna do something you regreat later on down the line. It may seem like a good Idea, but then, a few months later, when you've forgotten you tattooed your back, you'll look in the mirror and see Retnak Nahtanoj and think to yourself "Which Star Wars character was this again?" lol

It's not the man exactly but what he stands for that is impressive, not everyone has the integrity or daring to do what he does. But it does take someone brave with vision. Take the things that make him great or perhaps his message.

way to state the obvious

Yes, under the current corporate laws. But the concept of corporations has actually been a benefit to western society. Creating business entities whose futures are not tied to any one individual, makes for continuity of serve. The issue is greed. Most humans suffer from a bit of that inclination. For a time, religion did have some modulating effect on it, but as institutionalized religions allowed themselves to become greedy, that modulation evaporated. We're almost at the point where we don't need lawmakers, as it is theoretically possible for direct citizen participation in the enactment of laws, if the public were politically educated. That "if" is the major stumbling block, as so many people don't want to be bothered to have to think about the big picture, thus "representative" government continues to exist. And it largely "represents" the corporate interests, not local constituents, in large part, due to gerrymandering.

If so, stop dealing with them. Nobody forces you to deal with them. Make the choice of only dealing with coops and tell us how much your life improves (it won't).

​@@maximemeis2867 very bad faith moment. "You hate that this shirt is made by pieces of shit?! Then go shirtless muahahha" It's the usual "why does 'voting with money' almost never works in reality?"

And Amazon

@@hieronymusvonlipschitz That’s a fact.

Like how subsidies, tarifs and bail out are tolerated in a free market? Because free market don't work and is propaganda for ultra poor nations to make them sell ressources at a super low price to corporations.

For the same reason congressmen can hold stocks. Because the rule of greed is to powerful.

Why are monopolies also tolerated? Maybe those mega dollar campaign contributions to politicians have something to do with it?

Because we're maintaining grassroots communities and buying directly from locals or producing things ourselves whenever possible.

​@@avfeland Tell us that you work for Amazon without telling us you work for Amazon.

Just curious, what are the other three categories?

@@EbonySaints I call the first category simply "the dangerous ones"; they are predatory sociopaths who wish to take advantage of others for their utilities, designs or their money, and they will discard or eliminate them afterwards. The second category are the ones directly targeted with lies and false promises, those who fall for the pitch and the false sincerity. The third make up those who are uncategorized and unaware of what is going on, or have no art or money to give up as of yet, i.e. children.

It could be stated also that these four categories fit into every culture, but I'm not that worldly to state that is the case.

Interesting, I'll have to try this. My only experience with changing prices is the occasional "flash deal" (or something like that) where the item goes on sale for about fifteen minutes with a countdown timer to try to pressure me into buying.

Yep. I've noticed it's the same exact item (descriptions are word for word) but a different & very weird company name.

Yeah, on eBay too. The big corporations like home Depot, office Depot, Walmart, target, etc the same thing. Don't share your location!

Same here. Gotta be SEO fuckery at work here!

For sure healthcare is a massive money sucking profit making scheme, with admin/overhead like 4x more than actual cost of care

Because state run propaganda is rampant here in the US!! Media outlets are corporations and they need advertisers (also corporations) to keep their networks running - as opposed to independent media who relies on their viewers to buy memberships or subscribe and therefore report actual facts. The advertisers (again, corporations) like certain narratives and make sure media presents those narratives. In fact, the news actors get millions per year to lie to us. If those actors don't do as they are told they end up getting fired - like Cenk who now runs TYT but came from MSNBC or Mehdi Hasan who is starting his own thing after Israel had a fit over his reporting of the genocide in Gaza and he quit before getting fired from the same network. There are TONS of good independent media out there but lots of right wing funded ones too so be careful. Farron Balanced, The Damage Report, The Majority Report, The Ring of Fire (ROF), Thom Hartmann, Brian Tyler Cohen, Meidas Touch, etc. are all free on RU-vid with paid memberships if you like and want to support them or super chats and donations either through their websites or Patreon.

What about power lusters like you stop violating their rights? What about if you hate businesses, you stop dealing with them.

@@maximemeis2867 sorry people have rights, show me where in the constitution a buisness has rights

@@crazy9932 businesses are people. The fact that people decide to put together resources and effort into a productive activity (a business) does not deprive them of their rights. Besides there s no such thing as the right to violate the property rights or the freedom of association of others.

@@maximemeis2867 nope no where in the constitution did it say a buisness has a right. Also owning a buisness isnt a right its a privlage

​@@maximemeis2867 Businesses aren't people. They are hierarchical structures which require people to function and which are owned by a small group of people (who usually were born rich and thus can start big businesses) who get lots of money without doing an equivalent amount of work through taking that money from workers. In this sense, capitalist system creates a middle age style division into rich nobles and poor peasants. And, in the end, we see these rich people, modern age nobles, most born into high status and living by making high status hard to reach for others, actively use their influence and wealth to harm rights of poor people to preserve their status and keep getting richer faster. Not a usa-only problem at all, mind you. Usa just has some of the most shameless exercises of authoritarian power granted by money with lobbying being done to bleed people of their hard-earned money. Why does usa still have this weird "we know how much money you have to pay in taxes, but you gotta count it yourself"? Because companies which profit off this lobby hard to prevent this from changing, harming the common person and violating democracy. Preventing a fix to the system, as it will be very unprofitable for them
