(19,841 posts)Fine to try to run businesses better, more fairly, more democratic-socialistically. But you have to make mega bucks to compete with the fat cats. And when it's all about the bottom line, it's very hard to stay pure in intention. Look at all the alternative small businesses that are now megalo-maniacal. And don't really do all that much to change anything, tho they try to convince us they're doing their part. Where's the progressive answer to the Kochs?
I agree with you about getting more control over the media. And I don't believe the meek will inherit the earth either. It's time to fight, past time. To fight in a business kind of way isn't a bad idea--but the system is so corrupt and the oligarchs are so entrenched that trying to beat them by direct competition seems far-fetched. Do you really think they're going to accept domination? You are assuming these people play fair.
