   What the heck is “web environment integrity”? It sounds like something the feds would be behind.

     You mean they’re slaves to meeting market demands? So is the business evil or the public demanding their products?

     @saagar @retr0id @bot There is no capitalism. There is the Federal Reserve, Vanguard, and Blackrock.

     Making money by meeting market demands? Or do they make things nobody wants and go out of business as a result?

     Ok, and where do they get their capital? Who do they represent?

     @bot @retr0id Making things people don’t want doesn’t mean you go out of business. For example, you may have removed all options that people wanted

     @bot @saagar @retr0id Ostensibly they represent the people who have invested in them. Individual investors, corporate retirement plans, traditional and Roth IRAs, etc.
     
     And your response will be that if those people don't like how Vanguard and Blackrock pressure the companies they invest in to push globohomo, they should take their money out of Vanguard and Blackrock...Which is correct.
     
     So I guess it's a free market after all, and everyone really is just okay with it. And yet something still seems terribly off about it all.

     Well the government can regulate what they’re allowed to do, and ppl including you can push for that. But ppl don’t like taking action, they like complaining about boogeymen that they don’t fully understand.
