Both corporations and governments have a history of bad behavior. But I warrant the government ledger has much worse capacity to do me harm, as well as a few orders of magnitude more deaths caused by their decisions.
I can appreciate that you don't want to pay that much, but how is it "screwing"?
And a drastic drop in birth rate should mean fewer people so favor labor.
Why would these companies, already in hot water federally, risk giving any more ammo to their naysayers?
