There's no false dilemma involved in the choice between private corporate rule or democratic institutions. Either corporations will be held accountable by the civil justice system or corporations supply private alternatives.We've been over that. Neither. You're presuming a false dilemma.
Currently corporations can't legally imprison or kill you because government regulations prevent them. Shrink government sufficiently, and corporations will gladly accept the monopoly of violence and individuals will pay the price.Nope. Government is much more dangerous. Corporations aren't legally authorized to imprison or kill me if I defy them. Government is.
Yeah, it's false alright. "Private corporate rule" is delusional. They don't have that kind of power. Regardless of whether they are "regulated" or not, Microsoft or Apple can't pass laws and have me arrested.There's no false dilemma involved in the choice between private corporate rule or democratic institutions.es.We've been over that.

I don't worship rich people, why do you?Never seen anyone that hates success as much as you.
Rich people who acquire their wealth by bribing government are a threat to democracy. Why would any American support that?

Power abhors a vacuum.Yeah, it's false alright. "Private corporate rule" is delusional. They don't have that kind of power. Regardless of whether they are "regulated" or not, Microsoft or Apple can't pass laws and have me arrested.
I wouldn't want to live in a society without law enforcement, would you? After all, selfishness is why capitalism was invented.You keep insisting that if government doesn't control businesses, they will run amok. Do you make the same presumption with individuals? Should they be controlled by government as well? And if they are not, will they run amok?

Shrink democratic government to a point where it's no longer capable of providing public safety, and private for-profit corporations will fill the void.
Private prison and nascent private courts (not to mention private police/paramilitary forces) are in existence right now and only a government strong enough to restrict their actions will prevent them from earning even more profits by seizing the monopoly of violence.

Maybe.Business should be held accountable. I'm not suggesting otherwise. But regulation doesn't hold them accountable for their actions. It's dictates their actions. Do you understand the difference?
What about the 19 million Independents and 4 million Dems who voted for Trump? Do ya think perhaps what most of the 63 million who voted for him just wanted an America-firster for a change?You'll have to keep voting Libertarian.Yeah, trade wars were always a left wing thing. Trump has always been a far left Democrat. I can't recall how many times I warned this forum in 2016 about that.He’s always for smaller government, the problem is republicans are not. Tariffs are another problem...So they can snuff out any competition. Yes.We hear complaints from the Right all the time about how much regulations cost business and what a bad thing that is.
But the deep dark secret is that the old sclerotic businesses who own Capitol Hill want to be heavily regulated.
Oddball, give g5000 back his account and stop hacking him.
Trillion dollar deficits, morally corrupt, craven, trade wars. Figure it out, people!
I'm voting for Jo Jorgensen.
That "limited government" and "conservative values" crap was a lie all this time.
What they REALLY wanted was a Trump.
When JP Morgan Chase pleads guilty to multiple felony counts over a period of years yet its CEO is not forced to resign, is that a failing of accountability or action?
What does Trump pay for?I appreciate the folks that pay for all the things that assholes like you take for granted.
Too much white pride?Is that what they already did in Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle?
They have tiny governments unable to provide public safety?
How do you rate Trump's chances for winning the popular vote in 2020?What about the 19 million Independents and 4 million Dems who voted for Trump? Do ya think perhaps what most of the 63 million who voted for him just wanted an America-firster for a change?
Of course not.Did he commit the felony?
Did he direct the felony to be committed?
They have over 250,000 employees.
If one gets pulled over, should Dimon be forced to take a sobriety test?
