So are you saying corporations are the problem? Boards owe a faceless duty to shareholders, after all.

Pretty much all major corporations are a problem, along with the sneakier cover-up ones. There are some corporations which aren't bad, but they shouldn't be people. And they should make a fucking point about caring about their workers, their community, and their immediate environment (literally)

Why? something about the corporate systems and or legislation? Public corporations and privately owned as well? Incorporated small towns?

If you're making the argument that it is mainly the way it can be used by individuals to avoid being punished for criminal activity, then I agree with that. Just wanted to clarify if there is some other aspect you're criticizing?

Doesn't really answer the questions... but I guess you are implying that it is the global corporations specifically that you are criticizing?

Their matrix of systemic problems doesn't have a simple definition nor answer. Watch The Corporation documentary - and watch these 2 for greater global and historical context: https://www.CorbettReport.com/BigOil/ If you still have questions, we'll still be here.

Yea I had watched/listened to that some time ago when it was released. I guess my point is that "corporate" is a very vague term. I agree with your criticisms, I guess I just think we need a better term for who we are criticizing. Like "globalist industry mob bosses" or something like that. ;]

There are countless problems with corporations, and the idea of an incorporated community or business. I really don't think you are so thick that you haven't heard the arguments before now.

Most corporations are inherently problematic - but who establish and run these corporations? The ruling class corporatocracy. They set up and control the matrix of rigged systems that all favour their full spectrum dominance and exploitation - including the banks, military, and media.
