All of these are examples of the free market colluding under capitalism exactly how you describe that it should be and creating a wealth inequality that ultimately screws workers with no recourse.
All of these are examples of attempts to control billionaires in their field through bureaucracy and law. I’m advocating for a change in strategy. You’re attempting to enforce more rules because it seems like a good idea, and it is… in the short term. But we’ve seen countless times that controlling, forcing, and policing never work! After all, corporations will prevail again if we don’t redirect our energy elsewhere. Instead of focusing on controlling the rich, we should educate the poor. We should offer them choices and options rather than attempting to seize control from the wealthy. All you (and almost everyone else) are doing is repeating, like a mantra, “tax the rich” and providing examples of corporations utilizing options WE provided. I believe that you genuinely want better for all people, but from my perspective, it’s you who advocates for strategies that haven’t worked and will not work, without realizing it. I don’t think so, but I genuinely hope that you (and everyone else here) are right and I’m wrong because it appears that your agenda is gaining popularity, while my opinion is very unpopular. Your “plan” simply has a greater likelihood of being implemented and finding supporters. Because if you’re all wrong… we’re doomed, guys.

Yes, this is the free market at work. These billionaires exist in spite of regulations not because of them.
Lifting regulations on corporations solely motivated by raising their profits is like pouring gasoline on a fire and hoping it goes out. It’s clear that there’s not a right answer, but enabling corporations to just do what they want because the current solution isn’t perfect is the exact wrong answer.
Instead of focusing on controlling the rich, we should educate the poor.
Stop arguing like these are mutually exclusive. Both can be done and both are part of the solution. But yes, we have a problem in the short term, and we require a short term solution before we can begin talking about overhauling the system.
Absolutely, I’m totally with you on this! And obviously, they’re not mutually exclusive. Right now, though, it seems like there’s zero effort being put into the latter option. I’m just feeling a bit frustrated, hence the stronger words and arguments than I probably should be using. My bad if it came off like I was saying these choices can’t coexist.
