Corporations do not stand up to the government. Remember this. Drop any expectation that the coporate world would save you from a bad government.
Corporations control the government in the US. The government is bad because of corporations and neither are going to save you from either.
Exactly right. Dare I say the very right for working people to vote was won by organized labour, so even popular democracy is downstream from labour power. That's the only real power we have against corporations.
Hey hey hey,
They stand up against unions
They stand up against cheap, green energy
They stand up against human rights
They stand up against good working conditions
They stand up against good and affordable medical care
They stand up against required paid sick leave and maternity leave
They stand up against regulations to not poison people or exploit people quite so much
They stand up against anything that might slightly hurt short term profits.
They pump tens or hundreds of billions at the government to "stand up to them". Just always, without exception, to pommel the working class and long term into the ground and sacrifice the long term for short term superficial gains.
Except Costco. They did stand up against the DEI bullshit and recently have expressly said they won't buy and distributed the imported beef. I assume there's more between those two points in time, I'm just not aware. One of the few out there doing good stuff.

That was an unfortunate read.
how is this relevant to costco standing up to thr government, you can fight the government and the pathetic workers at the same time.
There's exceptions for sure. I should have said it's a tendency.
They get pretty aggressive at any talk of regulation
Submit to reality, take no action and apply no pressure.
I dont rate this advice.
Expect nothing, demand it anyway.
That's incorrect. They stand up to government all the time
Mostly when they face any kind of regulation. Trump is not that kind of government.
Okay
