Corporations are just businesses that have incorporated for tax purposes. That's not just big companies that trade their stock publicly. What's evil is what a specific company does that's evil. For example, rather than go through what's necessary to expensively dispose toxic waste some companies have dumped their waste secretly, causing huge health problems and deaths as the waste got into the aquifer. That's evil. But not all corporations are evil for just being corporations. You need to realize the difference.

the love of money is the root of all evil. corporations typically seek to maximize profits. some corporations are not for profit right?

Interesting. Did you ever work for UPS?

Yes.

No, I worked for FedEx. I take that back. I was a Christmas helper for UPS in 2019 and in 2021 I did Christmas deliveries in a golf cart for them in The Villages, FL.

UPS allows you to make very good money and have excellent benefits yet you see them as evil? I know you're unionized, but a union doesn't mean anything until the company hires you.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. A man can lust after a woman without money being involved. If she's married and leaves her husband for him because he makes better money then that's money based evil. See the difference?

He’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. IMO, a fraud

Yes. theres worse. walmart comes to mind.

if the workers get bored of their job they could rotate. and i doubt it would be equal pay. the pay would be higher because theyre owners. but thats besides the point, the point is walmart as you know depends on workers to function. if it didnt have workers and it was just the owners, the profits would fall.

thats why i dont use the MSM for "news". america has a shortage of healthcare workers as well. jesus would not defend capitalism; it doesnt pass the bar. the Italians tried that (a system of co owners) and succeeded, not failed.

So a cashier is going to do the accounting? Do you not realize how silly that is to say? Most Italians didn't try that system. Jesus would most certainly approve of capitalism. He wouldn't approve of Darwinian capitalism, survival of the fittest, with people being used up and cast aside.

I'd like to see his justification for calling them that. Seems to have a problem with the rich.

Transcript: CHRIS HEDGES on Deflating the Ruling Elite through Civil Disobedience /122 — FOR THE WILD

All too often our conversations around the consolidation of wealth and power in America blindly fixate on the politics of the Right and Trump as the anti-hero archetype. We must deepen our analyses and rethink our movements beyond the two-party divide in order to truly understand and hold accountabl

So Wal-Mart is going to hire a bunch of college grads with degrees in business, accounting, etc and tell them they'll have to rotate with cashiers and stock clerks?

wage theft, no A/C, low wages, calling workers to work and then not paying them

all satanic. all rejected by jesus

all satanic. all rejected by jesus

Wage theft? We have a grievance procedure as well as laws.

Don’t care about A/C that’s for crybabies like you.

Calling workers are not paying them? Again, we have a greater procedures that pays penalties so if they don’t pay me appropriately, they give me a big fat grievance check.

UPS pays the highest wages and offers the best benefits in the small package delivery industry. By far. Has a union for employees to negotiate with them and be protected by them. This is what I was saying earlier. Even if you got everything you want you'd still want more. Never satisfied.

i dont think jesus would approve of the low starting wages i mean. he wouldnt approve of the inequality - the greed at the top. do the workers get harassed for sick days? it wouldnt approve of that.

Legalized infanticide in the “civilized” world, but the Son of God is worried that we don’t have AC in our package cars.

SMH.

capitalism incentivizes wage theft and its widespread. jesus would care about the a/c and he was a cry baby. being a cry baby is a good thing - the squeaky wheels gets the grease.

I feel like such a situation may be directly referenced in the Bible.

And you’re 100% wrong on where Jesus stood on the issue.
