What do you have to say in regard to governmental regulation of industry, mostly because of said fuckery? It's much easier for me to believe (being the easily impressed fool that I am) that the concept of a government, at the heart of it, has better intentions for the health and goodwill of the public than a purely profit-based large corporation.
, there are exceptions on both sides of the argument, but it seems to me (especially in European countries) that governments are generally benevolent institutions, or
should be, if it wasn't for our greedy motherfucking species. And while there is definitely greed and power-mongering in politics, that kind of attitude is MUCH more prevalent in the kind of right wing corporate mindset you seem to be praising to high heavens as socially philanthropic by "creating wealth" by...by what, exactly? Cherry picked charitable donations and minimum wage jobs offered at the lowest end of the class structure?
