28. Yes, laws concernin g supervision and oversight of business practices
are easily circumvented. There are so many ways, including bribey and
corruption. It ws the Dems. who had been for those laws, and the Repubs. politicians
who had been shouting the loudest against them.

There is nothing wrong or evil about money per se, it's how some people would use them, and what they would or wouldn't do to get more of it. It depends entirely on
human beings whether the money is handled honestly and decently, or dishonestly and
criminally.

I've read that our world actually grows more than enough food to keep every man,
woman and child well fed. Many of of the cases of hunger and starvation have been artificially created in certain area through the manipulations of food combines for
the purpose of making higher profits.

In the case of drought hitting certain regions, and food crops cannot grow, other
areas can easily bring in food relief. This is mutual help during hard tims. But
not all people are willing to take part in this mutual help. And foremost among
these unwilling people are some of the corporate execs. Their minds turn automatically to extra profits. Whether people are starving or not is of no interest
to them.

These are problems created by the corporate execs. Strict laws have to made to
curb greedy people from practicing them. These are exactly the ones who need the
most oversight.

It can be done,if, as someone said in this thread, we are eternally vigilant.
