Interlocking boards of directors are a major source of this problem. The group-think is that they have to pay ‘X’ to ‘attract’ a CEO with the skills to manage their company. In reality it’s more like NFL owners throwing money at college QB’s in the hopes of getting the next Tom Brady. All they succeed in doing is bidding up the price of mediocre QB’s for everybody and the league suffers.
We’re dealing with multinational businesses that are not ‘USA USA USA’ anymore but rather they hate Americans and only bring out the flag and slogans just so as Americans buy their products and services.
‘Target CEO Brian Cornell says George Floyd “could have been one of my Target team members”
Good to know that target hires junkies.
Unregulated big business is just as dangerous as unregulated big government
Corporatism and globalism are the same thing now.
It's refreshing that we no longer have to drink the libertarian Kool-Aid, but now all we got left is some fictional "silent majority" that is being overwhelmed by millions of new immigrants coming across the border.
Go watch Tucker’s take down of Frank Luntz if you want to see how bad it is, and the cure.
Haven’t set foot in Target since they decided to let men use the women’s bathroom.
Yes, today there are many large corporations that are no longer advocates of true free enterprise. They feel THEIR corporations are future-secure in their alliance with big government. Yes, they will be allowed to survive and thrive as long as, like with the Nazis, they merge their goals with the political goals of the ever-increasing big government.
Can automakers really build electric cars as equally affordable with gasoline/diesel powered cars? No. But they will do like Elon Musk and con their customers with the taxpayer subsidies the customer can get, for now, until they allow the government to push gasoline cars out of existence, the subsidies are gone, and everyone has no choice but the more expensive electric vehicles.
Energy? Same thing. Instead of bucking the “green” new deals, and keeping YOUR ENERGY COSTS down, the fossil fuels corporations are adjusting their plans to make the “green” new deals still profitable for them too. Your utility companies have been doing that for years now.
They have all abandoned your finances for the sake of kowtowing to the political commissars political agendas.
We have the power of not shopping there--and the right to stick our own noses into politics--and the corporation guys have the same right. That's in the Constitution, and it's part of liberty.
But Federal regulation on businesses is nowhere in the Constitution. And don't be fooled about what regulation does. It doesn't hold back any of the problems you (we) would like to fix. It causes them.
What winds up happening is that because of regulations, large corporations make donations to corrupt politicians in both parties, who therefore confect complex rules that put smaller, upstart competitors of the big corps at a disadvantage. If you're small, the bureaucracy required is prohibitive and distracting. Financial, safety, labor, "equal opportunity" hiring, and environmental regs are all used in this way--or have this effect, which works out the same.
The regulatory agencies--including the health, safety, and financial ones--have often been found to focus on the pesky competitors of the big boys. The competitors' focus goes down, legal expenses skyrocket, and their good name in customers' eyes goes into the toilet when everyone, including WSJ, the fake-news TV, etc., report on the regulatory raids.
This came to light in a spectacular way when Bill Clinton sleazed into office with the support of Tyson Chicken, and one competitor of Tyson's after another was raided by the FDA, lost market share, and then was acquired by . . . Tyson Chicken.
This corruption, which is unavoidably created by having government regulating business, is everywhere in Washington, and is the money that drives the Deep State. It's one reason why we shouldn't try to root it out with more regulation. The corporate pigs will just use their donations to shape the new rules in their favor once again.
The other evil of corporate regulation is also inevitable: the chilling effect it has on innovation, which in itself protects the corporate pigs from inroads by competitors.
What we need to reclaim our Constitution. The Big Pigs have just been using their owned "regulators" against us, and if that weapon is available to them, there's no way to prevent them from using it.
