If the government wasn’t tying the hands of corporations through regulations and if there was enough consumer demand they definitely would be selling flying unicorns.
Using government issued currency? Is it still capitalism then?
So you’re OK with corporations having the power over your life instead? Just allow them to pollute your drinking water or allow them to put whatever they want in your food? You want to try those things?
If you can make profit by enslaving people, cutting corners with health and safety standards, and polluting the environment, they will. If they don’t, they’ll get “out competed” by the companies that do and drive the “inefficient” companies out of business. Then we get monopolization which we can’t do anything about because that’s regulation.
they want them to be rich, happy and healthy so they keep coming back and spending more money.
See there’s the problem right there. They don’t need customers to be any of those things to suck every last cent out of them. Corporations would love nothing more than becoming a monopoly on human essentials like food, water, housing, etc… because people will go to great lengths to afford food whether they like it or not.
Letting the free hand of the market do its thing unfettered by government regulations.
free market means consumers are free to choose where to buy from, it absolutely requires government regulations.
That’s a fast trip to feudalism.
It’s like you took The Road to Serfdom as gospel at 17 and then turned your brain off ever since. Just a babe in the wood.
In my dreams there are no woods just businesses as far as the eye can see all selling you your greatest dreams.
Like Times Square but everywhere.
The problem is that you still think those are realizable dreams when they’re not. You may as well dream of owning a flying unicorn.

You’re already in fantasy land, so sure, why not. Also the flying unicorns fart rainbows.

I wish people would just think this though a bit.
Do you think corporations want to kill their customers?
No they want them to be rich, happy and healthy so they keep coming back and spending more money.
It’s like cigarette companies never existed. Babe in the wood.
You may not be a parody account but you may as well be.
Corporations want one thing, profits.
