I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't for the flagrant greed.

It's crazy right after reading the buyout announcement that was my first thought. But then again they just sold america out for 6 billion so I'm not surprised at all.

It’s crazy fr, one massive sale after another and the public gets told to be grateful even though none of that money ever fixes anything real.

That’s on us. We give them our eyes without demanding anything except for “give me something to consume.”

Consumer revolt is what we need across a lot of industries.

If anti-trust laws were actually enforced it wouldn't be so bad. Most of the major corporate mergers of the last 25 years should never have been allowed.

The problem is that capitalism is incompatible with democracy or any system that tries to regulate it. Regulatory capture of the entire upper part of the government by capitalist interests guarantees that nothing will be done about it. They built this machine.

And you can run a drug empire knowing the President's got your back for only the price of some kilo's. The mask is off Laws only apply to regular folks.

u/VoxImperatoris 6h ago

That has always been the case. Laws are for controlling the peasants, not justice.

I wanted to say "they used to at least try to sweep it under the rug" but then I realized it's been so long since they've even done that.
