    A corporation is simply one way of organizing a business.

    It is essentially a business with a constitution (the corporate charter). Like any constitution, it has it's rules for amending it, and what happens to business assets should that constitution be destroyed. The founders of a corporation created that document. Shares of ownership can be sold to others in most cases, as authorized by that document. Owners can transfer their shares according to that document. The owners (the shareholders) own that constitution. Only they can amend it. Only they can destroy it if they choose to do so, thus dissolving the corporation.

    Some corporations become rather large. Businesses go into business to make money. They do that by satisfying customers. A business without satisfied customers is NOT going to be in business for long. It is no different for any corporation.

    Like any business, some are better at it than others. They are all capitalism. They are all serving others. They are all providing a product or service voluntarily, that others are willing to pay for voluntarily.

    Do corporations make mistakes or conduct their business badly? Some certainly do. It is no different than any other business in that regard.

    BTW, I founded a corporation. Shares are not sold on the public market (the stock market). They are kept with the founders and their families, with limited means of disposing their shares. My business builds instrumentation for industrial, medical and aerospace uses. It is an international corporation, selling instrumentation around the world.
    I am also a major owner in two other corporations. One sells broadcast TV equipment, the other invests and improves real estate such as apartment complexes and strip malls. The first is an international corporation, selling equipment around the world.

    why are you obsessed with corporations?

    the original standards and rules for corporations were best.

    it helps avoid fascism.

    Yes. This is essentially what is happening.

    Inflation is nasty. It causes speculative things like the stock market and real estate prices to rise with no increase in wealth, it causes high prices for everything that you use, it causes higher prices for government too. This means the benefit they get from printing the money is very short lived. They must print MORE money to cover the higher prices THEY caused for everything the government buys.

    It's an evil spiral. If not curtailed, it will result in a cash crash. This sort of thing doesn't just happen to Weimar Germany, Mexico, Japan, or Brazil. It can happen to us too.

    The federal government is broke. The only way out is to cut government programs back severely. If they do not do it voluntarily, in some kind of organized manner, it will happen involuntarily, in a chaotic manner.
    Those dependent on government money will be the worst hurt by this. So far, Congress has shown no inclination to curtail their spending.

    WRONG. Oligopolies and monopolies are self destructive. No government intervention is necessary. It won't be long before some little company shows up to shoot their kneecaps off. I have already given several examples of this.
    Oligopolies and monopolies can ONLY stay safe if and only if government intervenes. I have already shown examples of this as well.

    Since you deny economics, I don't believe you. If you are, then get your money back. The twits that are teaching you don't know economics.

    Wrong again. China is moving back toward their almost continuous history of revolution after revolution. This last spate of peace is highly unusual for China.

    Quite true. Many things could go so many different ways.

    As things stand now, I frankly don't see how we could avoid a civil war now. Either Democrats will push their violence, fascism, and communism hard enough upon people that they will revolt openly, or conservatives get voted in somehow and Democrats will increase their violence and hatred even further until people revolt openly.

    A peaceful transition back to a republican form of government that honors the constitutions that define it will be utterly rejected by the Democrats. They want an oligarchy or a dictatorship. They will kill to get it. They already have.
