The article is not entirely accurate, but why/how can these corporations alledgedly do this? It would be impossible without the assistance of the federal government. Our state and locals are often equally complicit.
Try selling baked goods without an approved industrial kitchen. Try selling any food goods without such investment. I cannot sell meat except on the hoof, unless I have a federally approved slaughter facility with a federal meat inspector paid for at my expense. And, technically, according to the new food safety bill I should not be doing that. Funny how electric cars do not have to comply with the same safety requirements as the rest of the vehicles and nearly any idiot can produce an electric vehicle for sale, but not an internal combustiun vehicle. And corporations love this, because they have the resources to have laws written that are in line with their way of doing business. They essentially legislate out the competition.
Abolish the FDA, EPA, the Fed reserve, wipe all the laws off the books that prevent small business form competing and you’ll see a turn around in the economy and employment.
I don’t want to sound too harsh on you. This is a great graphic and I appreciate you posting it.
See okie01’s post #42.
Private corporations making money is the least of our problems. The largest business conglomerate in America is the federal govt.
Limit and control the feds properly and the problem of govt interfacing too closely with private industry can be handled easily.

What a bunch of garbage. The scatter chart is mostly consumer throw away or eat items.
Could this be the reason?

"Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."
Not me. Much of what I buy (from laundry detergent to toothpaste) comes from a conservative cooperative company - all products are made in the USA and benefit the families who buy. It’s a pleasure to grocery shop for food only, and I rarely darken the doorsteps of a W@lmart or T@rget.
