It's not the job of corporations to treat people well, they're an entity designed to maximize profit within the framework they operate in.
A democratic government is designed to represent the will of the citizens. If we aren't happy with the way corporations treat us, then we should vote in a government that will regulate corporations to force them to treat us well.
The goal should be jobs that are boring to humans being automated completely AND not having theft because people don't need to do it in order to have a good life.
It get harder and harder for government to regulate corporations as they get bigger and bigger and are multinationals. That's what happens with tax heavens.
I understand corporations motives, but the parent commenter explains well that it doesn't work well if they are too greedy about it.
When do you do when your choice in voting is carefully handpicked insiders from a group that has insulated themselves from outside forces over the past 50 odd years and the only choices with a real chance of winning are not going to work in their constituents best interest?
You join those parties and start voting at membership conventions.
That's where actual policies get set.

And also

Picking the last bad is why we are slipping AS A WHOLE in the wrong direction.
No we're not. Go look at some numbers.
If your campaigning some 'bootstraps' idiocy, it's easier than changing us into America and their Medical Bankruptcy if you just move there for a few years. Put the fear of the aristocracy in you.
Well let's stick with the second-worst as long as it keeps the absolute worst out and their bootstraps bullshit and the dissolution of services that keep us from being Americans. They have even more work to do down south than we do, and I'd like those fools from Edmonton NOT to make us imitate that idiocy wholesale.
