    The reality is that a majority of executives are like Trump (though many of them are smarter). The only responsibility of a corporation, public or private, is to return a profit to its owners.

      The second statement has only been true since the 80's, and even then not universally so. Traditionally corporations have numerous stakeholders; the owners, the managers, the employees, the customers, and even society. Then some greedy farkers gained a foothold in Harvard Business School and here's where we ended up.

            Unions hurt the workers anyway. They don't care one lick about the quality of work, just how long you've given to their political action committee.

              Wal-Mart is up there too. Covered that in orientation when I started again with them in 2014.

              Tyson is also non-union, but if we hear any reports of unions recruiting on the grounds, we're simply to avoid and tell security.

                  My best friend from childhood is an economist and an attorney, but also, very weirdly, a Trumpie. (He works in NYC and has developed a pathological hatred of immigrants from litigating insurance fraud cases for the last 15 years).

                  I trust him to evaluate anything with hard numbers and econ theory fairly, and I sent him this with the question, "any rebuttal?"

                  He usually answers with detailed fisking of the source. This time his response, in full, reads as follows:

                  Nope. It's a horrible plan.
                  So Trump has literally lost his only intelligent supporter.

                      Inside baseball: how the BAT died, and with it likely the meager chance of the GOP getting their ludicrous and disgusting giveaway to the rich.

                      This is very important because it's the only thing the Ryan Wing of the GOP cares about. A substantial part of the GOP, though less than ten years ago, exists only to steal from the middle class and give to the rich. This has been the GOP MO ever since Reagan's tax cuts, through every Republican president and Congressional majority since, and is even behind Republican-nominated SCOTUS picks. It's the only reason the party exists -- the only thing it stands for -- and with a generational opportunity to reduce the American 99% further into penury and debt slavery it looks like they may have blown it, despite their clean sweep of government.

                      Obviously they'll still try to jam it through and there will be NO help from any Republican on grounds of process or democratic standards, nor the corporate media because, duh, its owners stand directly to gain. But it's all the more important to keep pushing the orcs back until we have our chance in 2018 to kick them out. This is 6000 families against 300 million people. America is broken and lofo conservatives will still vote stupidly on their emotions, but PERHAPS we are in the process of dodging a bullet all because the Flatulent Fluffer in the West Wing can't find his as-s with two hands and a map.

                            It's just more of the same. It's ebay. It's uber. It is the idea of providing a good or service outside of what has been considered the normal "chain" of business.

                            It's interesting, and it's certainly going to expand into other areas. But it's the wild, wild west out there. You might get a great place to stay. You might even get it dramatically cheaper than staying at a hotel or resort. Just like that uber ride may be a lot cheaper. But you also just bought a whole lot of caveat emptor.
                            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              Yup. I am too risk averse even to use Uber. These things are for the young at heart, and cardiacally speaking I am about 738 years old.
