That is a old armchair argument made from those in an ivory tower.

If it was YOUR business, you would want to control your dream, your vision -- not a bunch of rich folks who could decide to kick you out from your dream if your main goal is not to _remain profitable to the shareholders_.

I'm not telling you that you shouldn't care about these things, but this is how American Capitalism works. Someone owns a thing, and does pretty much whatever they want with that thing.
