    Corporations do not stand up to the government. Remember this. Drop any expectation that the coporate world would save you from a bad government.

      Corporations control the government in the US. The government is bad because of corporations and neither are going to save you from either.

        Exactly right. Dare I say the very right for working people to vote was won by organized labour, so even popular democracy is downstream from labour power. That’s the only real power we have against corporations.

      Except Costco. They did stand up against the DEI bullshit and recently have expressly said they won’t buy and distributed the imported beef. I assume there’s more between those two points in time, I’m just not aware. One of the few out there doing good stuff.
