Multinational Corporations.

[Phonix]

I was just wondering what everybodies view on their impact on PPC's.

Anybody strongly against them?
Anybody support their influence?

Hate them

Was hoping i could engage in an arguement here...

Why do you hate them?

[Plot]

Coz they extort workers, small businesses & unltimately the common consumer.
Offering only the minmium wage. competition becomes 'Well if Coles are only gonna give you $15 bucks an hour, well then I've only gotta really offer them $16' stupic mentality.
...
They go around offering small farms & shit like really crappy deals for their produce & then once the time comes to harvest are like 'Oh, well were not intrested now, Farmer Bob down the road giving it to us for $5 cheaper a carton, Oh well I suppose if U offered us $^ cheaper a carton then.' -how fucking evil the poor farmers just keep on being seriously undercutted by these nasty giants, & cant do anything but go broke.
...
This creates the products that the consumers buy of a much shitter quality. They choose what they want to sell in their supermarkets & thats basically what the consumer gets unless they want to go to the small business man whos drying up & have to charge twice as much to viably compete.
...
Fucking HATE THEM

i hate the fact that they get the same rights as individuals, and the fact that due to their large pocket books, they have more sway over politics than the people

The concept is genuine, but the application is bogus whereby the greedy and corrupt comptrollers, CEOs, and other officials have perverted something beneficial and profitable for all.

^Wow.
spammers making valid contributions!

I still believe that they're beneficial in the majority of cases and it's certain companys and governments who are the exception rather than the other way round.

I mean look at it this way,

Without their influence, how would they manage?

They are a key factor in both Rostow and Lewis models to development with regards to investment and structural change.
