        As a Canadian the concept of a business having personhood rights is just fucking foreign to me.

        Humans survived millennia without businesses … there isn’t a business on earth that would survive without humans.

        That tells us everything about which entity is most important.

    It absolutely does that. Try selling on Amazon. It’s like a sellers concentration camp. You have zero control.

    Also:

    Usury should be extended to retail because it is highway robbery how HVAC companies put a 75% up-charge on their equipment because we need A/C. That’s robbery.

      To be fair, it’s hell for buyers and employees too. We’re all suffering together.

      Hmm, should I buy from NGHINXY, Feelssoft, or KlaPow today? Ten thousand 5-star reviews must mean they’re all good. Or maybe I’ll get a counterfeit SD card. Or some expired OTC medication. So many mediocre choices from the American internet’s largest trash merchant!
