CORPORATIONS: The “new”Government; Part one
When you think of corporations, you think of a business which can be a simple business as in a “mom and pop” business like a grocery store or “bodega”; Or, a complex business such as an LLT, LDT, LLC or a type S, C, D, E, and F corporation which are constructed with board of directors and multiple layered corporate structures which can encompass “umbrella organizations which “house” several companies under one “parent or King” corporation within its structure.
Then you have corporations which are CONGLOMERATES which encompass multiple layered corporations within its matrix and are ruled under one “EMPIRE” Corporation.
“EMPIRE” Corporations are corporations which are actually CONGLOMERATE COMPANIES which “house” multiple corporations-not just in one country-but in MULTIPLE COUNTRIES.
Then you have corporations which are “publicly held corporations”(open to shares of stock to the public). But you also have “privately held corporations” in which 60% or over of the corporation’s shares of stock are held by the owners of the corporation (and these are the companies one should invest in when dealing with the stock market, because the owners have more to lose and therefore, will run the corporation “properly”).
The above picture of the “Botch Jelly Fish” is a perfect representation of what corporations in the United States are like…
If you know anything about this fish, you know that it is a very dangerous predatory species of the sea. Many deaths around the world are reported every year concerning the deadly encounters of this fish.
Both American Corporations and the Botch Jelly Fish have many similarities in their “character”.
For one, the Botch Jelly Fish camouflages itself as a “colorless” drifter of the sea, blending with the water or its surroundings (it could be “right in front” of you, and you wont be able to “see” it).
American Corporations are also “nontransparent” to its employees (or the “outside” public); allowing the “directors” total control in its manipulation(s).
When a Botch Jelly Fish “strikes”, it usually loses one, if not, more than one, tentacle.
American Employees are like those tentacles which are “expandable” and therefore, disposable.
Employees are hired to FEED THE CORPORATION with their time, talent, commitment, hard work, AND THEN, are DISPOSED of… (when the time comes).
The Corporation of Walmart comes to mind…
This “cancerous” behavior also extends to the communities in which these companies are based or operate from: For example; MONSETO CORP, is an organization which distributes “synthetic foods” which have been genetically “altered” (for mass production and harvesting) in lied of natural organic foods. The problem? These foods have not been sufficiently studied in the “potential side effects” of introducing genetically altered food into the human body; which can have possible disastrous consequences to its population.
In short, the communities are placed at RISK, for the sake of “potential profits”.
Since 2008 Corporations have been on a “corruption spree” to hoard what was left of a “collapsed economy” (yes, the economy did collapse, as quiet as it’s kept).
These same companies “falsify bookkeeping and record keeping” inventory to show net operating losses in order to get subsidies from the government for their sustainability (and give nothing back to the communities that they ‘supposedly” serve). They employ “questionable” accounting practices to substantiate their own “valuations” (of either defecits or increases-which ever suits them the best, either way, THEY STILL GET PAID).
“Fast foods” Corporations such as Mc Donalds, Dominoes Pizza and similar franchises are considered “parasitic corporations” because they pay less than the minimum wage (although that is FINALLY changing), making their employees rely on public assistance(which further reduces the economic viability of the community: not enough income does not allow for the economy to “pick itself up” because there is not enough cash flow to stimulate “consumerism”).
This creates a “domino effect”, affecting both individuals and communities (which is why they remain poor or under developed).
The “fat cats” which run these corporations usually don’t live in the community which they “prey” upon (therefore, they don’t get to “see” the degenerative effect and cyclical phases of poverty which their lack of support, by not giving a decent livable wage, generates…)
These corporations have learned ALL TOO WELL, how to cajole the government to do the same for them as the government did for the BANKS (bailing them out-TWICE!).
How do they get away with these kinds of practices?
