I dunno, I think that's a question of perspective

I could post a giant list but then I'd seem even crazier than some already suspect I am

I’d add the corn lobby making people obese. I’m not fond of them either, and pharma

Yeah, maybe a longer list than just banks or airlines. Those are the worst imo

Remember all that shit with the credit bureaus and them losing control of personal info for like a hundred million people, most of whom never even consented to these companies having that info?

We have congressional hearings because Taylor Swift fans got fed up with Ticketmaster, but that one equated to a check for $3.50?

i'll bring the guillotine! :o

I was not implying defense of Ticketmaster, either. I just don't know if the death penalty is necessary for Ticketmaster, as anti-competitive their practices might be

The bankers would find a loophole. Think of cockroaches and how they survive almost any conditions lol.

If we have the courage to not bail them out, it should be clear how bad of a business proposition this is and banks should regulate themselves a little better

Same shit with airlines. We always cry “too big to fail” and save them so they never learn

they know they don't have to learn, or be responsible or even competent

their businesses are so large that if they go down, then the entire economy follows like dominos.

"too big to fail" means, "we cannot allow them to fail, for our own survival"
