one of the absolute most retarded ideas in modernity is the notion that private corporations should be allowed to fuck up the things they "own" at the expense of the public

corporations receive significant privileges and government support and the fundamental argument for that is that their endeavors are a public good, that they're doing things that wouldn't be feasible otherwise, without the protections and funding. e.g., building a railroad or an electric grid or whatever

once a corporation starts behaving badly, those protections and that support should be stripped and the individuals involved should be thrown in an alligator pit on live TV. pour encourager les autres
