Truth: Corporations want your money,
Edited on Sun Sep-17-06 09:14 PM by Tom Yossarian Joad
They have no soul,
no conscience,
no heart.

They are machines designed to bleed you dry.

Any questions?

1. We should all become corporations.
Find ways to not have to rely on them for income.

2. Since businesses are in the business to make money, this is not news.
What do you suggest? That corporations not be allowed to make a profit? That we establish some kind of bullshit insane and totally unsustainable system in which all our corporations make stuff but don't charge at all for them?

This supposed "point" you are making is not any kind of breakthrough journalistic news - if you were to ask any corporation (that isn't non-profit) owner, or the corporation itself, what their main goal is and it's always gonna be about making money.

it's not like it's a fucking secret.

6. machines have no rights
take away their rights as persons. then make them pay taxes. drives up costs well too damn bad, that is called capitalism, do it cheaper make more money but don't require a leg up on the competition just to suit up for the game.

10. yes
they have no moral directive, and anything that may achieve the best outcome for the corp will be pursued to it's ends.

don't get me wrong, i don't have a problem with any entity dealing with with whatever problem they face and using all means available to them legally.

and my previous statement about removing their rights is painted with a very broad brush.

no one size fits all solution will work for the problems we now have. removing rights from my own Incorporated employer would most likely leave me and over one hundred of my friends and coworkers out of a job.

8. CORPORATIONS MUST DIE!
They want the same rights as meat people, they should have the same limitations. I'm serious. They are sharks--keep moving or die. They must be controlled, and we are no longer controlling them--they are controlling us. Something is backward here.
