Corporations are beholden to their stockholders, not the customer.

Any business is a balancing act between customers, stockholders

My advice? Become a stockholder. It's very satisfying to be a
stakeholder in a well run business.

I am a large stakeholder in my own corporation, and it's run very
efficiently. But it's not in the oil industry where competitors work
in collusion. I have competitors in what's called a free market.

Have you reald Welch's book.


Indeed, I've read Welch's The Politician, and also the Bluebook of the
John Birch Society. My mother got them for me as gag gifts while in high
school and after I was graduated. That right-wing lunatic, Koch, is a
prominent Bircher. My mom, a minor Republican functionary in New Haven,
said, "you'll get a laugh out of *this* craziness."

Oh, wait, you probably are referring to a different Welch.

Damn, Bertie the Bircher. Probably worships Pat Buchannan.


We all know that the Commies fluoridate our water in order to diminish
our precious bodily fluids.

this song of theirs is a minor classic:

The John Birchers were crazy as loons. The modern GOP'ers/Teahadists are
their inheritors.
