    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.

      The problem is for each company that thinks of long term, you have 10 companies that only thinks of short term.

      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.

      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.

      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.
