Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?
#55
RE: Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?
Hardly, corporations are generally the entrenched players actively preventing you from getting any of those things from anyone else. Being established has advantages, specifically in context to others wishing to offer the same services at a lower price. I'll just buy you out, and bring the price of your (former) products back in line with my own. Win win, I annihilated you, protected my position, and made a profit in the process. If you refuse to sell, at some point, you'd be replaced...because you aren't fulfilling the obligations placed upon you by incorporation (or even more stringently, by public investment within your corporation).

It's a two way street. Neither the heavy hand of government, nor the invisible hand of the market appear to have your interests (or our interests) in mind. It certainly makes no sense to defend a system that has demonstrably fucked all but those in control of that system, be they politicians or ceos.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
