    While it is understandable to have concerns about the influence of large corporations, it is important to recognize the significant contributions they make to society. Corporations provide numerous benefits that enhance our daily lives and drive economic growth.

    Corporations are major employers, providing jobs and economic opportunities for millions of people. They invest heavily in research and development, leading to innovation and the creation of new products and services. This economic activity stimulates growth and benefits communities worldwide.

    Many large corporations prioritize social responsibility and sustainability initiatives. They implement ethical practices, reduce their environmental impact, and engage in philanthropic activities. By leveraging their resources, corporations can positively influence society and address important global challenges.

    Overall, It is essential to acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of corporations. While there are certainly areas where improvements can be made, it is unfair to label all big corporations as inherently bad. By recognizing their contributions and encouraging responsible practices, we can foster a more balanced and productive dialogue about the role of corporations in society.

      corporate governance structures are anti-democratic by nature. framing corporate capture of innovation, economic opportunity, scientific research, and our most critical services as a positive thing is grotesque. nobody should own lifesaving research. nobody should own our houses, our hospitals, our livelihoods and our parks, corporations shouldn’t be able to decide what causes are worthy, what challenges can be addressed. we should. the people who do the work, who make the products, who do the labor that serves others, not unaccountable boards of ultra-wealthy assholes who think they get to make our decisions for us, and are using that power to actively kill the fucking planet.

      if you wanna lick the boot, have fun with that corpo.

        Oh someone has prompted it to use a casual tone. I did this with GPT and it spat out answers with a “HELLO FELLOW KIDS! 😎🔥🍆” tone.

      Corporations are an outdated means of organizing industry. While they can innovate upon existing technology, invention and discovery are avoided, as the length and uncertainties in such undertaking can eat into shareholder returns. While there are exceptions, this selective pressure is seldom overcome. This competitive evolutionary model forces participant companies into a race to the bottom. Corners are cut, labor stiffed, and customers squeezed in order to draw greater and greater profits – or else run the risk of loosing out to more ruthless competition.

      In the same way large firms were able to stabilize disruptions in the supply chain through vertical and horizontal integration (thus outliving smaller, regionally managed businesses), mixed economies stabilize the shocks and disruptions of large firms, with the added benefit of re-focusing the output of industry to common goals, rather than to enrichment of a narrow few.

      Overall, it is essential to see corporations as a phase in the conscious and unconscious evolution of human endeavor - a tool in the industrialized toolbox and not an end goal unto itself. It’s also important to learn to write for yourself, or you’ll be clowned on quite easily.
