Big Business and corporations will choose authoritarianism over democracy everytime. [View all]
Because it means they get to keep all their profits and nothing is more important to them than wealth. They do not care for the common good. They care for their shareholders and owners.
We watched as the big tech and business leaders stood around Trump after they passed the "Big Ugly Bill" and bragged about how many hundreds of millions of dollars they made on that day. That was all that mattered to them.
They will shovel in all the money they can physically stash and buy multi-million dollar yachts and throw big wedding parties costing $20 million dollars and build numerous mansions, as if they can live in more than one at a time, and disregard all those that wish for a democracy.
Big wealth in the hands of a few equals fascism. We are there. The only question is what will the final form of fascism look like? How much suffering will they permit before they even notice? The stock market is nothing but a temporary parking space for their ill-gotten gains so it cannot be the barometer we measure anything with during these times.
