Sucking the soul out of the peons goes back long before corporations were invented. Before that we had slavery and before that serfdom and before that something else.

The 1% are predators. Period. There are "good ones" like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet but that's like being grateful the mafia boss paid for the rec center.

The 1% are predators.....the only thing we can do as humans is every once in a while clean out the 1% and start over. It will take a few decades for the next crop of predators to rise to the top and humanity will have a few years of relative economic equality.
