What is the corporatocracy good at?

[branders seine]

They have fucked up pretty much everything they've had a hand in since reagan.

They have even fucked up war gift-wrapped for them by friendly and servile government.

They trashed the global economy.

They have all but destroyed the practice of democracy on the planet.

Nothing is less competent than an oil company safety engineer, unless it's maybe and oil company disaster recovery engineer.

If the private sector is so much more effective than government, then someone please explain what it is that they're good at?

[Cleita]

1. They are very efficient at raiding our Treasury it would seem.

Watch for an oil company bail out in the future to cover their losses.

3. that is their sole function in capitalism--

seek out every last pile of money on earth and steal it. No other priority whatsoever. Psycho killers are less ruthless and less deadly.

2. The execs don't even build, design, or maintain what their companies make.

Nor do they train their employees or deal with the social aftermath. They are the vampire squid on the face of humanity.

[AnArmyVeteran]

4. CEOs are gutless, soulless, greed-filled sociopaths...

And that describes the 'good' ones. The rest are psychopaths eager to kill, maim or destroy anything to make a buck. I bet they'd sell their mothers into prostitution if they could make money off of her.

5. They can treat employees like indentured slaves....

Forced overtime with no compensation, extra work required off the clock, no benefits, minimum wage, threats, discrimination, de-humanizing workers.

And those are just the good things they do.

9. they play games with their money.

like all good capitalists.

jerking off while the world melts.

[Ikonoklast]

6. Killing off the goose that laid the golden egg, a regulated economy.

And because of that they will soon run out of people to sell their crap to.

[Demeter]

7. Theft and Fraud and Bribery (Corruption)

Nobody cares for product quality anymore....

[branders seine]

8. or even if there *is* a product

it's only about capital.

[Odin2005]

10. Fucking up everthing they get their hands on.

People, communities, countries, societies, the whole natural world....
