    I always say if you don’t like the idea of corporations having too much power over you, you’ll hate a government that has too much power over you.

    Corporations deplatform people and shut off their electricity. Governments drag people into the street and shoot them, and firebomb cities. There’s no comparison.

      I hate corporations having power over me, but I don’t mind governments.

      Why? Because I get to vote on who is in those governments. I don’t have any input in those corporations.

      And corporations only care about profit, with government you can at least sometimes have one that cares about the population.

      If we let corporations do their thing, they would bring back slavery since that is much more profitable than paying someone even minimum wage.

      Corporations would sell their own mother if they saw it as profitable.
