But then that's unfair, so i dont know. Maybe a business watchdog that probes big business' would work.
Bullshit. It isn't fair.
The large businesses have accumulated wealth from everyone else. If they were intelligent, like Adrian hopes for, they'd reinvest those profits back into the economy. Hear that?
Because economies are models of monetary transactions held in lieu of material and intellectual goods (financial trading, unfortunately, is the latter). The model breaks if those transactions cease or slows down -- that's why they talk so much of ethereal "consumer confidence".
That's why keeping large moneyed entities from simply storing their cash is such an imperative, by any means necessary. If it must be taxes because some large corporate entity is being a bad actor, then so be it.
Stop phrasing shit as "its soooo unfair!!111".
Because it isn't.
It's how we set up a competition based model of resource trading.
Learn to work with it and cover the deficiencies.
And no Adrian, it isn't perfect. It would only be perfect for your world if:
- Consumers had access to unbiased and near complete information
- Consumers cared
- Companies were responsible and eschewed their irresponsible brethren.
However, the reason I and others advocate for having government (and perhaps other means) interfere is to keep the pirates, the criminals down.
Come up with a better series of protocols other than a blue sky idea and I'll agree with you.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
