Without regulation of wealth to avoid gross Inequality: we get corruption: all the way to the Supreme court, that is a threat to our Democratic Republic! Our communications, including not just media, but education systems, our food production , safety inspections, health care virtually everything that affects the quality of our lives and environment.

For sure, Laurie. I believe it is possible to have a badly written regulation and want to fix it, but when I hear the Rs talk about how they’ve dumped regulations in bulk and plan to dump even more, I think about the doors falling off airplanes, babyfood adulterated with plastic, and rivers so polluted they catch on fire. “Regulation” is a good word and a good idea in a world of 8 billion people who need some guidelines and areas of agreement to be able to live on Earth. For the luvva pete!

Yes, They reap what they sow, and only a Sociopath would not care if they harm the environment, or burn out their workers with poor working conditions, pay , bad hours, and little respect. If workers qualify for public assistance, the CEO and shareholders don't deserve any bonuses, that's for sure!

That “assistance” to their workers is taxpayers subsidizing predatory employers. Corporate “welfare,” if people just realized.
