You may think I just rant or overstate the case but this article (and quote) show that it's rampant. It applies across the board to any big business. Look at GM and their recalls, Big Pharma and their drugs that kill and on and on. In fact, profiteers have killed more people than our last few wars combined. Maybe we should be going to war against unfettered Capitalism. Lying, cheating, stealing, and killing are all seen as justified means to an end when it comes to making money.
And forget about laughable "watchdog" agencies that are supposed to look out for consumers, they've been either neutered or captured. Same goes for "our" representatives in Congress who don't represent us but instead bend over for big money donors. And the same goes for paid media mouthpieces and ideological judges. All avenues have been choked off by big money. Lobbyists have become the true citizens of this country; the rest of us are just noise and held in contempt.
This Oligarchy/Plutocracy we now live in has come to another inflection point as indicated by our founding document:
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...[and]...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object [unfettered Capitalism] evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
"If it's cheaper to let you die than to fix it, you're going to die," said Harry Robertson, who invented the crash-resistant "Robbie tanks" for the Army and is in the National Aviation Hall of Fame.
