Like cake? Cake has layers.

Because it's really a means for the owners to avoid responsibility for their actions.
You see this in any country where corporation do not have a built in shelf life.

Did you know corporation where almost banned in the constitution? They grow large and then manipulate the government. Something seen in the British Empire. The only reason it wasn't was because that had, for all practical purpose, a life of 20 years.

Now they live forever and can take an active role in the government.

If it was simply what you say, then I wouldn't have a problem.

" individuals "
Plural, which would be a collective.

" a word referring to nothing in reality"
Nope:

Are you ignorant or too stupid to apply context?

Good for you, bro. A lot of us aren't so fortunate.

I object to corporations as currently constituted in the United States for the same reason I look askance at the Federal government: concentrated power is dangerous to those who lack power. It doesn't matter if that power is political, religious, or economic.

I only chose it because I was young, bitter, directionless, and had some natural talent with computers despite not growing up with a programmable computer at home. I decided I wanted to be a writer, and thought I needed a "respectable" day job and my own apartment instead of just working a couple of part-time jobs and sharing a place with an amiable stranger or three.

I've been in a union, Stormy Dragon, and they were always there when I needed them. Unfortunately, I listened to my parents and my culture and got a "real job" because cleaning toilets was "beneath me".

I don't have the figure or the winning personality for that kind of work. :)

I can dodge a punch. Dodging a bullet is just a bit tougher.

Last time I checked, the USA isn't the rest of the world, and in most Western countries the Democrats would be a right-wing party.

I was busy clawing my way out of indentured servitude back then. :)

On Tequilla 50% chance of hangover 12 hours later, 25% chance of Black eye, 30% chance of break up, 17% chance waking with a stranger

Sure we do. Do you want to code shitty social apps that separate fools from their personal data?

It's another step in trial.

If your ideals actually meant anything to you, you'd despise corporations and government itself with the same fervor with which you speak against unions. Instead, you're a typical secular Republican: you rail against any form of collectivism that helps workers, but rally around all forms of collectivism that serve to preserve the privileges and wealth of America's ruling classes.

Get rid of corporations and government, show me a real free market, and I'll happily compete without seeking recourse from a union of my fellow workers.
