When will we start holding these people accountable? It is easy to say “corporations are bad” and then sit on your hands. It’s different to start calling out the people who ultimately make the corporations evil.
We have whole classes of people comfortable fucking people over – sometimes with deadly consequences.
While I desperately want to believe that we have finally reached a tipping point where it becomes time to start investing in companies that make diagonal shaped blades, I’m resigned to the fact that no matter how angry we get, most of the hoi polloi is too lazy to care about it as long as they have the newest fun gadget in their hands and a bigger TV than last year.
“We” as in society, the government, and the legal system, will never hold them accountable.
Shielding against personal responsibility and liability is one of the bedrock features of American corporations. Piercing the corporate veil is the rare exception and is seen as a big deal. And that’s because the veil protects rich people.
“We” as in highly motivated individuals who may or may not have a plumbing company with their brother, seem the most likely to do something about it.
Well, the Law is supposed to protect us from Bad People, or so they and the powerful tell us again and again (and again, and again, and again).
Of course, in reality as the Ju$tice System’s reaction to Luigi’s action compared to their reaction to abusive and even murderous actions done by those hidden behind UnitedHealth makes painfully obvious, the Law mostly protects powerful Bad People from our reaction to those people doing Bad Things.
There are hardly any restrictions on them nothing is stopping you. Don’t use that as an excuse when we see mass shootings on TV almost every week. It’s only poor people that die from gun violence usually

People don’t make corporations evil. The system of economics makes evil corporations win. Until the system changes, nothing else can

Guns are useful for a fearful populace, to give them the illusion of some kind of control.
How’d Afghanistan turn out?
Then why do cops have them?
For dogs, mostly.
For state violence.
Cops love the illusion of control. That’s the job description
If cops only have the illusion of control then I still want whatever cops have.
At the end of the day they just do as they are told. They report to someone
You are going to love America.
Yeah, if they’re talking about restrictive laws when it comes to gun ownership, there’s no chance they have to deal with UnitedHealth.
Are the restrictive laws in the room with you?
*blinks T O R T U R E in morse code
One of the more ridiculous reasons I’ve seen for even less regulations on guns
