(3,411 posts)I don't want to worry about eating the roundup carcinogen in my food because Monsanto has a monopoly on corn (which is used to feed cows, pigs, and chicken that ends up on my plate.)
I don't want to worry about being able to pay for a drug because a big pharma corporation decided to price a drug at several hundred dollars a bottle, especially a generic that used to cost a dollar or less a pill (and they bought out the only other companies that were making that generic drug.)
I don't want to worry about the air I breathe because the oil industry helped a trade deal to be passed that gave it the power to sue my state government and remove its environmental laws because they were threatening the profits of the oil industry.
and on, and on, and on...
