(14,120 posts)It is like the Frog in the pot of water experiment. The frog will jump out if the water is hot. Yet, if you place it in cool water, it will sit there. You start to raise the temp slowly. The frog will sit there and cook to death.
That is what is happening right now. We are the frogs and the corps. are the scientist. They are slowly buying our rights away. They will feed us lines. They are using the law that is supposed to protect us, against us.
Many years ago, the big businesses found ways to own people. They would give special credit in there stores so the workers could buy things they need. Many even had housing to "help" their employees. Soon, when the workers started to relies, they were owned by that company. But thanks to things like the union movement, such practices went away.
But now the corps are trying something new. They are trying to get rid of things that made the union movement possible. That way they can go back to those days. The freedom of speech is their first target.
