Everything is fine and dandy while we’re still young and/ or healthy enough to keep working or keep our business. But what happens later? In the city where I live some tenants are being given 24 hour notice by police/firemen after the slumlord has violated every city code and NOT paid water or electricity, but the whole time has been pocketing the huge amounts of rent money.
I can ONLY imagine many will find themselves on the street when the “big” corporations come in and buy the bldg. for peanuts directly from the city or on the steps of the court if it’s in foreclosure.
The article on the link tells the story of a huge insurance company which is acting like feudal lord in Ohio and apparently is in cahoots with the city. Those women would have preferred to stay in that area, even if it was a run down place, but someone else is deciding for them where they should live. It makes me think we complain about abusive big shots like these, but do we stop buying what they sell?
Most middle-class think it’s a sin to buy generic or store brand. Same goes for any product or service, whether insurance, bank, etc. We would be better off doing business with the little guys, instead of constantly lining the pockets of monster corporations.

No, OK if you are rich
only in some things. Like the generic brand for Imodium-D works just as good and is cheaper, same with the generic brand for Tylenol. BUT, I have found that the generic brand of vegetables are not as nice as some of the bigger name brands. AND, most of my medications are ‘generic’ and much cheaper that the real name brand and I appreciate that alot.
Wow, what a question, more of a statement than a question. Nice statement.
I will not buy cheap clothes since that building collapsed in dhaka. 1k dead, not good.
You are questioning capitalism, as am i. The pope, im an atheist, said something similar. Worshipping money is a false idol. Radax malorum es cupiditas. The love of money is the route of all evil, chaucer saw it. Your opinion is not new.
But whats the alternative to capitalism? Churchill admitted that democracy is not ideal, the alternative is much worse.

The Corporations own the little guys too.
Corporations = Government.
I do it all the time and have for years.Even if smaller companies are a subsidiaries of the larger ones we can’t do nothing about who owns what but by what brands we buy we can make a statement about product quality and price keeping them in check somewhat.
They are going to fix it in the future, I guess. maybe after the w.w.w.
