    Do you think the CEO compensation is the only place they are siphoning off funds to the oligarchs? And even with all the greed, they are still admitting to robbing $3.8B from the working class. That’s all profits are.

    The system rewards greed and corruption. So that’s what they do. They conspire with other corporations to inflate prices. They take advantage of disasters to gouge consumers. These aren’t conspiracies, they are things that have been admitted to under oath and discovered through investigation.

          They’re welcome to lie with the numbers! But then I can at least reason about it. Right now, we’re looking at some cherry-picked end points and ignoring the proposed numerics entirely.

      We’re looking a 2 different things here. I’m doing the math on a specific policy and how it would effect a specific company. You come back with generalizations and broad conceptions.

      You are right generally. We agree generally. But here specifically, this policy won’t do anything to help that. It’s bad policy-making. We’re both right.
