Trump being punished? Hard to feel sorry for a billionaire CEO losing a contract from another CEO. He’s a big boy and can take care of himself.
The root cause of all this is bad government policy not corporations as a group. Sure you can single out specific corporations but in reality almost all of them are pandering and doing what they do so their businesses flourish within the environment shaped by government public policy, MSM, education system etc. One has to look at root causes .. instead of knee jerk attacks on “corporate elites”.
It would be good to have a free market where all business could flourish but the collusion of crony capitalists and government doesn’t allow that.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) creates big winners in hospitals and health insurance companies and pharma, whose stocks have soared in recent years.
W Bush helped pharma with subsidies at taxpayer expense for their products in Medicare Part D created to help him win re-election in 2014 with Karl Rove so ecstatic.
Medicare Part D and now the Affordable Care Act, one from a Republican president, the other from a Democrat, take taxpayer dollars, increase our ever soaring national debt ( now 18 trillion dollars) and move this country closer to bankruptcy like Greece.
