Oh really! US nation demands low prices on goods and merchadise and managing staff demands even higher wages with time. AND THERE IS NO END TO IT. The managment staff salaries have risen like 10 to 20 times over 10 years time. SO the process of managment wages rise if speeding up. You can not take more out of notting,you have to take it from someone. So firms hire kids, who work for a dollar a day and in the future for a dollar a month.COrporate allways cut costs,multiplies profits.
I really like this kind of videos, because they make you see reality. However, when i am going to see a VIDEO that talks about solutions or whats being done. We always foucus on the problem, and it does not matter how much we foucus on it, solutions won't come from the same level of thiking that created the problem.
@happymand : I never said only psychopaths kill people, you eluded that I did. Killing in war is not murder and I never said it was. Your other points I agree with. But if you get any gun you want, load it, put it down and never touch it again. IT WILL NOT KILL ANYONE. Only when a PERSON picks it up and uses it, will it become harmful. That's my point.
Or we could get rid of money as a whole that seems to be the main problem It cause's men to become heartless and greedy and others to slave there whole life's for it Why? Why cant we just work as a whole on some type of bartering system or just for the common wealth of everyone Why is a piece of paper or some stupid piece gold or silver worth anything? That shouldnt be what makes the world go round
@betsingerb: Guns don't kill people. Stupid A-Holes with guns in their hands do. If there are no guns, then psychopaths will use knifes. If there are no knives, then sick murdering fucks will use bats or sticks or rocks or just their hands. The point is people have been murdering and killing each other waaaayyyyy, longer then guns have been around. And guns have nothing to do with mass murder. People do.
@slauertura77 So only pssychopaths and bad people kill others? No, EVERYONE has the capacity to kill. Are our military all just a bunch of psychopathic, sick murdering fucks? No. It is A LOT easier to kill someone with a gun than with a knife. Yes, people have been killing since the beginning of humanity, but I promise you, the numbers have gone WAY up since the invention of the gun. That is a proven fact.
@happymand The population of the planet has also increased dramatically since the invention of the firearm, and despite every other weapon conceived. You have made a false correlation.
@Zryuken Not really. Of course the actual numbers have gone up, but I was saying percentages have gone up also. So yeah, not a false correlation at all.
Michael Moore is a fuck tard. It is his OPINION that Lockhead/Martin make WMD's and because mass murders parents work for L/M is the reason why they went on a killing spree.....give me a fuckin break. Thats like saying sugar and other commodities have gotten more expensive because Michael Moore eat so much and that's also half the reason so many African nations starve.
This is all excellent information, except for one factor that concerns me: Yes, Monsanto is a terrible company, but without genetically modified foods, there really is no way we're going to be able to feed the population of the world as it keeps escalating to 8, 9, 10 billion people. I wish we had a good alternative to the Monsanto model where farmers could grow GM crops (and thereby get the yields necessary to sustain the world), but not have their seed rights trampled.
Except about half of our food is wasted and more is destroyed. Kenya is a starving country yet they provide food for Europe. We don't have to feed the world, only ourselves. The Earth will do what it does to anything that overpopulates beyond its means. Genetically modifying food sounds awesome but it's not worth the unknown, untested long term risks.
Those are great points, but GM can also address other issues aside from just quantity and distribution. There are 3 basic ways to farm: organic, pesticide, and GM. Organic is costly to the farmer in that it gets poor yields and involves taking greater risks (might lose a crop to bad weather, insect plagues, etc.) Pesticide/fertilizer method gets good yields, but these chemicals, even if found to be safe for humans, can be harmful to vital animal/plant species that live near the crops.
And then there's GM. It needs a much better legal framework to police companies like Monsanto which take good biotechnology and abuse it for profit. But aside from that, we have: Higher yields than organic and pesticide, plus reduced use of water / arable land / oil to obtain that same yield. That's a real, demonstrable environmental benefit. And the only downside (aside from Monsanto) is a vague notion of "unknown effects". It seems like GM is still the best option, I think.
There's good things that can be done with crops to help humanity. I'm actually a biotechnology student right now, don't know what area I want to work in yet though. The problem is that our knowledge of genes and their effects are in their infancy. Once we mature our knowledge then I have no doubt that we'll make huge strides. We shouldn't implement anything large scale until we know everything about it and its effects.
Wow! that clip of the CEO of Interface shows just how much health you can gain by not living the stressful life of a CEO! He looks about 10 years younger in the interviews than when he did that speech!
Among the various tools this guy mentioned to defeat corporations, he forgot to mention war. Prison is war. All prisoners are prisoners of war. As convenient as it is to talk in broad generalities about "the government", "corporations", etc, in the end, all we're talking about is which sets of laws do we want. If we make it legal to kill police and prison guards, then they will be unable to put us into prison if we do what is necessary to reclaim land and water.
These countries and corporations that enslave these children need to be nuked. There is no other way to go about it. I have zero sympathy for the deaths of those factory and corporate owners.
That said: how much control does a celebrity like Kathy Lee Gifford have over stopping EVERY handbag with her name on it being illegally produced?
The solution is an environmentally-focused syndicalism. Syndicalism - look it up. To start, we should revise the laws governing corporations. ALL corporations should have to be some brand of worker-owned cooperative. Shareholders do nothing but hold: they do not work and therefore should have no share. Were such a revolution to take place, we could avoid the pitfalls of the worst brands of Multinational Firm Capitalism and State-Ownership Socialism alike.
The solution against corporations is simple isn't it? Just publically recognise them and stop buying their products. If people had information plastered all over the internet about them, would they stop buying or not? Would they choose morallity over self-interest? Its no point calling corporations immoral if it doesn't impact profit: the consumers have to act morally or learn to live with exploiting people they don't know...
@intermender Your "solution" is naive in the extreme. They have the market share, there are no alternatives for many - if not most - consumers to receive their vital necessities - food, clothing, shelter - apart from buying from major corps. Go to the most powerless places on earth: slums & prisons. Corps - often large ones - supply the food, clothing & shelter. All wealth & all power begins w/ the control of land & resources. Worker coops, unions & political reform are the long, necessary road.
@musicalidea yes I agree i'm naive and not had much life experience and i even appreciate your point. But how can it change or a solution evolve if source isn't flagged up? To me it just seems like labelling whether meat is ritually slaugheteredd or not, or if food is organic or not: to give people objective information rather than being prey to the excesses of a market bloated with unnecessary products. It is naive. But if we keep subscribing to a club, it seems obvious the club will endure.
@intermender I didn't mean to down boycotts; I participate in many myself. I am just saying that this alone will not produce the results we are seeking. If the corps. cannot grow through traditional revenue increasing means, they can grow by colluding to cause bubbles which, when they unravel, massively devalue holdings of competitors (you and me, mom and pop) - then they acquiring these assets at a steal & increase market share - witness the economic crisis of 2007-Pres. Boycotts r just 1 way.
@musicalidea Sorry your comment doesn't make sense to me, if corporations lose revenue and respond by 'colluding', the result still needs to find revenue - and my point is the revenue comes from us. If we stop buying anything they offer, they'll simply implode and exit the market and so will their dependents. Its energy of income that fuels their bubbles, so we just need to pull the plug. And regarding value, we just have to realise value of goods comes from utility not corporate involvement.
@intermender Revenue is not Profit. The goal of the stock co. is to max profit even at the exp. of revenue. I meant to emphasize when I said "losing revenue" was the idea that buying power across the market - as opposed to within individual firms - may decline, esp. as consolidation increases. Ironically, the way that many large firms combat this is to consolidate further. This may increase the profit margin of the merged entity, but not improve the actual wealth being exchanged in the econ.
@musicalidea Sure but profit is a factor of revenue and that can be affected by personal boycotts by those in the developing world who are able, with pressure on politicians to review and repeal deficient laws against universal human rights. As for the stocks/share/money market source, I think thats more to do with the nature and deficiencies of the monetary system as highlighted in that mostly apocryphal film Zeitgeist (I mean the slavery of the banks section seemed quite convincing to me).
@intermender Another idea - already stated - is that part of the recipe for the ascent of corps over all the world's nations in the past 40 years is their use of political manipulation & other rogue but legal tactics to make "opting out" nearly impossible. If you own all the resources, people must buy from you to live. Ref. the Chileans losing control of their water supply; ref. 3rd world subs. farmers - who refuse both their labor & consuming power - being forced into Monsanto slavery.
@musicalidea sure, well this is where boycotting should be explicit and include review or repeal of deficient laws condoning such behavior to pressurise politicians. Those corp actions clearly infringe universal human rights? But corp political clout, however hidden, can be undermined if those in a position to boycott do, and this would include most in developed nations (especially if made aware of where their stuff comes from and actual causal link between corp power and individual actions)
@musicalidea Anyway i'll stop with this conversation, its a little over my head and I really don't understand enough economics or politics. Its seems clear what i have to do in my personal life and I guess thats enough for me. Thanks for the education.
@intermender Hey, I agree - if you're able to survive & completely boycott the Multinationals, I wholeheartedly commend you. I boycott all sweatshop clothing brands & basically only buy used clothing, but still buy food that's imported as well as my fair share of pers. hygiene products, most of which are made in the US, but a fair chuck of which aren't. I should try much harder to boycott more evil stuff. However, it shouldn't stop there but include supporting & building worker coops & unions.
Michael Moore is naive. There is no serious non-poetic "connect" between working for Lockheed Martin and having a kid shoot up a high school. Those who cant see this as gaga feelgood-subversive propaganda are maybe not as wise as they think. Yeah, this countervoice is important, but not as right as its righteous-pious tones suggest. Industry has a tendency to get heartless, so we need people always to keep that in check, but industry is in all of us.
I am certain that the base of "mount sustainability" is industrial hemp. Ooh don't look now, a corporation lobbied to get that sustainable source made "illegal".
"HI, im hypocrit achbar. Listen to me say this 23 times, so you will give me money, even though im trying to spread a message about the badness in human greed. MAKE ME RICH!"
enjoyed most of these videos....but, cheap labour is there for a reason and these countries aren'y going to come off badly from this believe me..look at china!!!
if child labour was abolished, these kids aren't westernised kids, they won't go back to happily playing wii and barbies/action man. the only alternative for these children is child prostitution and begging. both extremley dangerous and harmful.
federal reserve own the rights to these third world countries and the whole world!
@kim6dubz6dem6truth86 what is your point. when we have free trade with nations that exploit their workers that would be completely criminal here we pull ourselves into their sphere just as much as if not more than they are able to pull themselves into ours. 80% or so of Chinese are at 3rd world standard of living, that means they live on less than $6 a day, most are more like less than $2 per day... for everything. You SHOULD want these people to have more rights for your sake.
Evil will not, must not triumph! we are, the good people, we are the one who must bear the burden of this twilight struggle.. nothing is more important than this!!! this is not a call to bear arms no arms we need not a call to battle not embattled we are but a call to voice a dissent a call to dispute and refute this current disgraceful administration yet a powerful dissent voiced in civil manner and under the rule of laws and directed to the highest institutions of this great republic!
Thank you for a such great documentary and allowing those of us who have next to no income the opportunity to see such important and enlightening information!
Yeah Moore they work for a company that makes weapons for the military, how the fuck does that make them even remotely responsible two nutcases who want to murder people?
@FatherTime89 Here are some words that might give you a clue. 'Weapons.' 'Violence.' 'Killing'. Your child is killed by someone with a gun, somebody made that gun. If you make guns, what you make is used to kill people. They should think about that.
@ammypam Somebody else has to decide to use that weapon to kill people. There are perfectly harmless ways to use a gun. Whereas gas cars contribute to global warming whenever they're used.
@FatherTime89 You're one of those people which help the world to despise America. I'm not going to reason with you. You just keep on watching Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly and keep believing that shit.
@FatherTime89 No, probably not, you don't seem to be stupid. But when you eventually leave school, the real world might teach you some things and broaden your mind and widen your experience and allow you to make intelligent connections. And hopefully you'll never be in a mall when you meet someone 'harmlessly' using their gun.
Wait why is the government banning chain restaurants a good thing? They should mind their own fucking business and not eat there if they don't like them.
@ammypam Yeah because there's absolutely no way Americans would have access to fattening food if it weren't for fast food. And of course Americans shouldn't be trusted to form their own diets, we have to sick the food police on them.
Western affluence is the legacy of free market capitalism. Dickensonian sweatshops in mainland China, Vietnam and Cambodia are the legacy of the socialist Left.
Pounding the atomic sword into a plowshare would allow us to keep modern power output levels well beyond a sustainable human imprint in the biosphere...
the way to beat them is to stop trying to be a part of something you are not, stop living a fucking lie, get some balls, go hunt for your family, go grow your own food, make your own electricity for your own hot water and heat, and prove you dont need a middle man and that you are self sufficient. until you do that, you are fucked. ignore them and get a life!!!! stop paying attention to other people.
The bit Michael Moore talks about: I personally chalk that up to people not thinking they're important enough to cause things. Like people have been convinced and told their whole life that they're not important, that they've completely forgotten that they actually are important enough, that when bad things happen, it never crosses their mind that they did something connected to that.
again, with children worship in impovrished countries; it is that or child sex prostitution. I think working in a clothing factory beats being molested daily by sick & diseased men. can you people wake up? when congress got the testimonies & proof of the child sex trade in USA as well 300,000 child victims, congress ignored it. See the video at MayaBell (dot com) and many other videos.
Look at all you hypocrites, using the Microsoft Corporation to talk bad things about the Corporations. So what if people die because of corporations? People die all the time for several reasons anyway.
Fascism is the inevitable and supreme stage of capitalism and I like it.
They keep on telling us how monsanto invented agent orange and how that poisoned the people and earth it came into contact with. Why has that corporation not been prosecuted just as a person would be if that person had done same. They claim same status as a person but do not get punished same as a person does. Monsanto should get the death penality for crimes against humanity be be desolved at a total loss to there stock holders . Then there executives should all be put in prison.
@fizzywool the same people that should be convicting monsanto either work for them now, did in the past or are paid off. Just look at the FDA, it is filled with biotechnology veterans. the corruption is endless my friend. We need to stop entitling power to other people and take it into our own hands!
@fizzywool There are world companies, but there is no world government. Unfortunately, by operating different branches in different countries, and circumventing or overpowering local laws, groups like Monsanto (I believe) cannot be brought to justice unless a greater effort is made by multiple nations to do so. And why should they? Some of the them probably invest in it.
I do agree that corporations are a problem. I do not agree with the solution given in the film - government. Who do you think gave corporations the power they have? As bad as corporations are, do you think they have killed near as many people as governments have? Do you believe that government has your best interest in mind any more than these corporations do? The solution given in this film is to take power from bad people and give it to even worse people?

Loved the documentary, but I'd like to know what music was used in the beginning of the video? It's not in the soundtrack (Which is Creative Commons Licensed, by the way, you can all download it legally, for free).
"Humanity" does not 'think' per se but I know what yer sayin'. The "end of the world" cross-populous "FEAR" is a piece of propaganda that has been cleverly brought to bear by the elitists to serve the corporate scare tactics objective.
Mike Moore was studying to become a priest. I like That he became a social activist instead. He can do more good that way. Priests do nothing ! They just keep people complacent. They have a ploicy not to interfear with the satus Quo.
Im sure that 50 % of the clothes and accesories that michael moore is wearing in this film is made in some poor country by workers who get paid 45 cents an hour.
Im just pointing out that we are all to blame for this bullshit ...
That guy at 12:45 is right but there not just plundering the environment there also plundering the human mind.And after 15:26 when that guy announced there victory and they were celebrating every hair on my body stood up.Can you imagine that it seems so beautiful.
How much I hate our age... Humiliation and suffering in poor countries, emotional poverty and pseudo-individualism here in the Western world. Sometimes I think I'd love to sit before a fire clinging to my mom and dad like an animal, sharing the same blanket, just too be free of this sick dream of ours that we call capitalism. Fuck it ,right in the ass.
if there is child labour in india or pakistan - then those named countries are responible. And maby many children prefare do mak few penies in a factory rather then siting in the skool ...:-/
I watch mostly PBS, listen to NPR, and when i can, read a good wholesome book. I am the corporation's worst nightmare. And worst of all, I encourage my friends to think critically.
@Morahman7vnNo2 If you rely on the news sources you name, you are most certainly trapped in the Corporation web of dissimulation. There's no critical thinking taking place at NPR & PBS, only the imitation of it.
I have the same view about Fox News and other "conservative" news sources.
@Morahman7vnNo2 "Critical thinking" implies objectivity. "Public non-profit" doesn't guarantee objectivity. It usually (but not always) indicates a Marxist agenda. This is the case with NPR & PBS: Marxists with a Gold Card.
Chomsky pointed out that the phrase "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" is grammatically correct, but meaningless.
One can use the form of critical thinking , appearing to be objective, yet be spouting propaganda. NPR-PBS reporting on Israel is in this class.
@BobMartin5613 Yes, and these stations are much more objective than the the mainstream media outlets. Of course they seem Marxist, when you're not bowing down to capitol interests, anyone of group of people can appear Marxist. And what do you mean "with a 'Gold Card.'"? Last time I tuned in, they were asking for money.
You know what else is meaningless? Bringing up quotes that have nothing to do with the topic.
Okay, what is the "form of critical thinking"? And give me some examples of this--
@Morahman7vnNo2 Anthony Sutton and many other researchers long ago proved that Marxism was created, financed, and maintained by Capitalists. In a strange, Hegelian-Dialectical way, it makes sense.
Orwell's "Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" is a perfect description of how the world is actually managed. Google "King C Gillette World Corporation Scribd"
Once in power, Lenin's first real exercise of authority was to impose "State Capitalism" on the failing Communist system. MTBW
@BobMartin5613 -- "spout[ed] propaganda." And not just general subjects.
Until you can give me an actual example of when they broke their guarantee of objectivity, and explain how they broke it, you are just a Wikipedia article without citations.
@Morahman7vnNo2 Would be easier to show a Christian that transubstantiation is a fraud. If I could see evidence that you're capable of genuine objectivity and critical thinking, I'd be more inclined to give you the lesson you demand. But, reading your reactionary responses, it's clear you've been conditioned by the great B. F. Skinner Box known as Mass Media (the glass teat).
Do your own research, starting from doubt rather than absolute certainty that what you believe is infallible. FNORD
Democracy, whatever, how can you use the same tactics that give corporations power in order to undue what they create. Be not conformed but renewed by the renewing of your mind. Freedom is not Democracy it is the essence of Life, not the control of life by law or sanctions.
I think the scariest and most atrocious thing about the whole situation, is that the vast majority of the public is ok with what is happening to the world. It is as if Americans and people in general crave ignorance. Stupidity is the sancuary in which they will hide until the death throws of civilization tears it down. How can the few enlightened fight against the sea of those who crave to be domineered. I am 19 years onld and dont see much hope for the world
feeling powerless starts by feeling alone. the greatest untold truth in US history is that most advances in rights and freedom for a variety of people was do to public discontent and large people movements. we are giving individuals to worship (martin luther king jr., gandhi, etc) but they those individuals are nothing without people's support.
Note that how India treated the issue of salt is the way Americans should treat the cannabis issue. 11:00 "Any law that makes it illegal to save seed is a law not worth following. We will violate because saving seed is a duty to the earth and to future generations." Ghandi
@InvisibleRefugee2 "Out of small and simple means are great things brought to pass."
.
History often hinges on minute details overlooked by the average person. It was a seemingly small Constitutional loophole that allowed Corps to amass immense economic and political power--and all it takes is the stroke of a pen to bring it crashing down
.
The LAW gives the corporation its power, and the LAW can take it away. We only have to have the courage to make it happen.
@InvisibleRefugee2 While Congress and the Executive are doing things that are not ethical--they are LEGAL according to the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent the government from engaging in corrupt behavior.
.
This is why we need a Constitutional Amendment to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and ban corporations from politics. Only then do we have grounds to punish politicians for this kind of behavior.
@InvisibleRefugee2 If we pass a Constitutional Amendment and it is NOT adhered to by the Congress and the Executive, then we are no longer a nation of laws, but have succumb to absolute tyranny.
.
If the Congress and the Executive refuse to uphold the CONSTITUTION, then they become UNCONSTITUTIONAL--they become illegitimate and must be deposed at all cost. It is grounds for war.
.
This is an extreme situation--let us pray it never happens.
wiki bolivian water riots. the issue was much more complicated then made out in this doc !
personally i would be thrilled to get water service and have unlimited water at 20 $ a month cost my water bill is around 120 a month in california for a small house !
the passage of law 2029 was what triggered this the riots were extensive and not at all entierly about water. wages for many classes of workers was a big issue.
@XxmattitudexX Compare their cost of water to their average income. Then compare the cost of your water to your income. Look at the percentages. Compare what you have left over to buy food and housing with what they have left to pay food and housing.
.
More than likely $20 to them is a much higher percentage of their income than $120 is to you.
@wbaltzley the ? is is the situation similar to how much an orange is worth in maine in winter vs one in florida in summer. or is it how much a ferrari costs anywhere.
i do not think the amount i make should determine the worth of the water. its supply and demand . the situation currently is one where the poor are paying more then the rich who have water service in that country
@XxmattitudexX One of the facts you have overlooked in your argument is that the company in question (Monsanto?) purchased the rights to ALL water in the country--including rain. Oranges and Ferrari's don't fall from the sky.
.
The price of water in Bolivia was not a function of supply and demand--it was arbitrarily set by a monopoly with strong government ties. I don't know how they set the price of water in California--hopefully not like this.
@wbaltzley monopoly is a good point. but how do we know the rate at 20 $ was not actually a subsidy !
the law 2029 is what made in some theory collecting rain water illegal but that was regarded as unenforcable. the riots were about much more then water. I would imagine in california the infastructure needed and competition for the water
@wbaltzley only because so much capitol is already here and the econemy can support bringing water in do we have it . i am playing devils advocate a bit here as i am not a big fan of imf/world bank and loans that give away countrys resources. (economic hit men etc)
Note: once the media hype died down, Cathy Lee Gifford continued using sweatshops to produce her product. Nothing changed. The only way to get real change is to pass a Constitutional Amendment to abolish "Corporate Person" and ban corporations from politics. Then and only then will we be able to effectively regulate companies and hold them accountable for their actions.
@wbaltzley We do not just need to end the CORPORATION as a person, but also to end the person as a CORPORATION. When your name appears in ALL CAPS, it is Capitus Diminutio Maxima. You are a CORPORATION under BOND(age). Your rights as a human are stripped and are under the rules of your "country's" CORPORATE CHARTER. Your birth certificate is on BOND paper and has a number that is a traded commodity of value that is traded. Who owns yours? You can reclaim it, as I shall do mine on a UCC-1 form.

Kathie Lee Gifford is full of shit. "I didn't know these conditions existed." Bullshit. She wants me to believe she was raking in all this money from this product and never questioned where it was made and under what conditions? Fuck that. She either knew and did nothing or is criminally negligent for putting her face on that product without knowing these facts. Either way she should be jailed for crimes against humanity. All of them should. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.
@fightforyourrights9 Do you know about the internet kill switch? See the Obama deception the makers of the film are unbiased of the political parties that most people know of.
@fightforyourrights9 Actually I believe her. Is kathie Lee a clothes designer ? Does she know how to sow clothes ? For most celeberity's , they are asked to attach their famous name to a product. A product they have no expertize in. Do you think all those famous female actresses know how to make purfume, at all ? No, they just attach thier name to a products for a fee.
@flubno If you willingly put your face or name into a product and have done no research into it to see where it comes from, how it's made, etc. then you should be liable for the harm that making your product causes. Knowledge of the wrong is not the issue. It's that she slapped her name on something to make a buck and, if she didn't know about the conditions it was made under, didn't care enough to find out. She should be held responsible either way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shut up micheal moore your a dumb ass Lockheed martin doesn't make fire arms, ban the people and attitudes that created the environment for someone to want to kill someone, if they hadn't had guns they would of used knives, dont try to ban guns thinking they're the problem, the 2nd amendment is there for a reason, we shall probably use it soon to shoot most of these ceo's when they try to start killing us, its coming soon
michael moore never claimed that lockheed martin made firearms, they DO make weapons that are capable of killing many more people in fact. bombers, and short and long range missiles. enjoy your ignorance
lol. am i missing something?? the corporations+government+the fed= are all the same people!! they are on the same side. there is no way to dismantle these entities. the only conclusion that i have seen effective is by mass extinction in order to start over.
No but i recently learned this in College. shoot thinking about it now it might of been lenin that was such a good capitalist. What i do remember without my notes is that in economic evolution the person best at the current econ type events the next in this case a good capitalist envisions communism.
Corporations are just one part of the puzzle. The central banking interests, that control our money supply, are the ultimate power. If the people can wrestle this power back, by electing independents to congress, not main party politicians, then the people will be the master of all commerce.
imagine what would happen if America actually in forced its law on all people evenly and fairly regardless of race and social class that is the only true way to America great!
The people, united, will never be defeated.

If there are no knives, then sick murdering fucks will use bats or sticks or rocks or just their hands. The point is people have been murdering and killing each other waaaayyyyy, longer then guns have been around. And guns have nothing to do with mass murder. People do.

No. It is A LOT easier to kill someone with a gun than with a knife. Yes, people have been killing since the beginning of humanity, but I promise you, the numbers have gone WAY up since the invention of the gun. That is a proven fact.

This is all excellent information, except for one factor that concerns me: Yes, Monsanto is a terrible company, but without genetically modified foods, there really is no way we're going to be able to feed the population of the world as it keeps escalating to 8, 9, 10 billion people. I wish we had a good alternative to the Monsanto model where farmers could grow GM crops (and thereby get the yields necessary to sustain the world), but not have their seed rights trampled.

@icarus313
Except about half of our food is wasted and more is destroyed. Kenya is a starving country yet they provide food for Europe. We don't have to feed the world, only ourselves. The Earth will do what it does to anything that overpopulates beyond its means. Genetically modifying food sounds awesome but it's not worth the unknown, untested long term risks.

@rgaud8
Those are great points, but GM can also address other issues aside from just quantity and distribution. There are 3 basic ways to farm: organic, pesticide, and GM. Organic is costly to the farmer in that it gets poor yields and involves taking greater risks (might lose a crop to bad weather, insect plagues, etc.) Pesticide/fertilizer method gets good yields, but these chemicals, even if found to be safe for humans, can be harmful to vital animal/plant species that live near the crops.
icarus313 7 months ago
@rgaud8
And then there's GM. It needs a much better legal framework to police companies like Monsanto which take good biotechnology and abuse it for profit. But aside from that, we have: Higher yields than organic and pesticide, plus reduced use of water / arable land / oil to obtain that same yield. That's a real, demonstrable environmental benefit. And the only downside (aside from Monsanto) is a vague notion of "unknown effects". It seems like GM is still the best option, I think.
icarus313 7 months ago
@icarus313
There's good things that can be done with crops to help humanity. I'm actually a biotechnology student right now, don't know what area I want to work in yet though. The problem is that our knowledge of genes and their effects are in their infancy. Once we mature our knowledge then I have no doubt that we'll make huge strides. We shouldn't implement anything large scale until we know everything about it and its effects.

Among the various tools this guy mentioned to defeat corporations, he forgot to mention war. Prison is war. All prisoners are prisoners of war. As convenient as it is to talk in broad generalities about "the government", "corporations", etc, in the end, all we're talking about is which sets of laws do we want. If we make it legal to kill police and prison guards, then they will be unable to put us into prison if we do what is necessary to reclaim land and water.

The solution is an environmentally-focused syndicalism. Syndicalism - look it up. To start, we should revise the laws governing corporations. ALL corporations should have to be some brand of worker-owned cooperative. Shareholders do nothing but hold: they do not work and therefore should have no share. Were such a revolution to take place, we could avoid the pitfalls of the worst brands of Multinational Firm Capitalism and State-Ownership Socialism alike.

The solution against corporations is simple isn't it? Just publically recognise them and stop buying their products. If people had information plastered all over the internet about them, would they stop buying or not? Would they choose morallity over self-interest? Its no point calling corporations immoral if it doesn't impact profit: the consumers have to act morally or learn to live with exploiting people they don't know...
intermender 9 months ago
@intermender Your "solution" is naive in the extreme. They have the market share, there are no alternatives for many - if not most - consumers to receive their vital necessities - food, clothing, shelter - apart from buying from major corps. Go to the most powerless places on earth: slums & prisons. Corps - often large ones - supply the food, clothing & shelter. All wealth & all power begins w/ the control of land & resources. Worker coops, unions & political reform are the long, necessary road.
musicalidea 8 months ago
@musicalidea yes I agree i'm naive and not had much life experience and i even appreciate your point. But how can it change or a solution evolve if source isn't flagged up? To me it just seems like labelling whether meat is ritually slaugheteredd or not, or if food is organic or not: to give people objective information rather than being prey to the excesses of a market bloated with unnecessary products. It is naive. But if we keep subscribing to a club, it seems obvious the club will endure.
intermender 8 months ago
@intermender I didn't mean to down boycotts; I participate in many myself. I am just saying that this alone will not produce the results we are seeking. If the corps. cannot grow through traditional revenue increasing means, they can grow by colluding to cause bubbles which, when they unravel, massively devalue holdings of competitors (you and me, mom and pop) - then they acquiring these assets at a steal & increase market share - witness the economic crisis of 2007-Pres. Boycotts r just 1 way.
musicalidea 8 months ago
@musicalidea Sorry your comment doesn't make sense to me, if corporations lose revenue and respond by 'colluding', the result still needs to find revenue - and my point is the revenue comes from us. If we stop buying anything they offer, they'll simply implode and exit the market and so will their dependents. Its energy of income that fuels their bubbles, so we just need to pull the plug. And regarding value, we just have to realise value of goods comes from utility not corporate involvement.
intermender 8 months ago
@intermender Revenue is not Profit. The goal of the stock co. is to max profit even at the exp. of revenue. I meant to emphasize when I said "losing revenue" was the idea that buying power across the market - as opposed to within individual firms - may decline, esp. as consolidation increases. Ironically, the way that many large firms combat this is to consolidate further. This may increase the profit margin of the merged entity, but not improve the actual wealth being exchanged in the econ.
musicalidea 8 months ago
@musicalidea Sure but profit is a factor of revenue and that can be affected by personal boycotts by those in the developing world who are able, with pressure on politicians to review and repeal deficient laws against universal human rights. As for the stocks/share/money market source, I think thats more to do with the nature and deficiencies of the monetary system as highlighted in that mostly apocryphal film Zeitgeist (I mean the slavery of the banks section seemed quite convincing to me).
intermender 8 months ago
@intermender Another idea - already stated - is that part of the recipe for the ascent of corps over all the world's nations in the past 40 years is their use of political manipulation & other rogue but legal tactics to make "opting out" nearly impossible. If you own all the resources, people must buy from you to live. Ref. the Chileans losing control of their water supply; ref. 3rd world subs. farmers - who refuse both their labor & consuming power - being forced into Monsanto slavery.
musicalidea 8 months ago
@musicalidea sure, well this is where boycotting should be explicit and include review or repeal of deficient laws condoning such behavior to pressurise politicians. Those corp actions clearly infringe universal human rights? But corp political clout, however hidden, can be undermined if those in a position to boycott do, and this would include most in developed nations (especially if made aware of where their stuff comes from and actual causal link between corp power and individual actions)

@wbaltzley the ? is is the situation similar to how much an orange is worth in maine in winter vs one in florida in summer. or is it how much a ferrari costs anywhere.
i do not think the amount i make should determine the worth of the water. its supply and demand . the situation currently is one where the poor are paying more then the rich who have water service in that country

@XxmattitudexX One of the facts you have overlooked in your argument is that the company in question (Monsanto?) purchased the rights to ALL water in the country--including rain. Oranges and Ferrari's don't fall from the sky.
.
The price of water in Bolivia was not a function of supply and demand--it was arbitrarily set by a monopoly with strong government ties. I don't know how they set the price of water in California--hopefully not like this.
wbaltzley 1 year ago
@wbaltzley monopoly is a good point. but how do we know the rate at 20 $ was not actually a subsidy !
the law 2029 is what made in some theory collecting rain water illegal but that was regarded as unenforcable. the riots were about much more then water. I would imagine in california the infastructure needed and competition for the water
makes the price very high.
XxmattitudexX 1 year ago
@wbaltzley only because so much capitol is already here and the econemy can support bringing water in do we have it . i am playing devils advocate a bit here as i am not a big fan of imf/world bank and loans that give away countrys resources. (economic hit men etc)

Note: once the media hype died down, Cathy Lee Gifford continued using sweatshops to produce her product. Nothing changed. The only way to get real change is to pass a Constitutional Amendment to abolish "Corporate Person" and ban corporations from politics. Then and only then will we be able to effectively regulate companies and hold them accountable for their actions.

@wbaltzley We do not just need to end the CORPORATION as a person, but also to end the person as a CORPORATION. When your name appears in ALL CAPS, it is Capitus Diminutio Maxima. You are a CORPORATION under BOND(age). Your rights as a human are stripped and are under the rules of your "country's" CORPORATE CHARTER. Your birth certificate is on BOND paper and has a number that is a traded commodity of value that is traded. Who owns yours? You can reclaim it, as I shall do mine on a UCC-1 form.

Kathie Lee Gifford is full of shit. "I didn't know these conditions existed." Bullshit. She wants me to believe she was raking in all this money from this product and never questioned where it was made and under what conditions? Fuck that. She either knew and did nothing or is criminally negligent for putting her face on that product without knowing these facts. Either way she should be jailed for crimes against humanity. All of them should. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

@fightforyourrights9 Actually I believe her. Is kathie Lee a clothes designer ? Does she know how to sow clothes ? For most celeberity's , they are asked to attach their famous name to a product. A product they have no expertize in. Do you think all those famous female actresses know how to make purfume, at all ? No, they just attach thier name to a products for a fee.
flubno 1 year ago
@flubno If you willingly put your face or name into a product and have done no research into it to see where it comes from, how it's made, etc. then you should be liable for the harm that making your product causes. Knowledge of the wrong is not the issue. It's that she slapped her name on something to make a buck and, if she didn't know about the conditions it was made under, didn't care enough to find out. She should be held responsible either way.

shut up micheal moore your a dumb ass Lockheed martin doesn't make fire arms, ban the people and attitudes that created the environment for someone to want to kill someone, if they hadn't had guns they would of used knives, dont try to ban guns thinking they're the problem, the 2nd amendment is there for a reason, we shall probably use it soon to shoot most of these ceo's when they try to start killing us, its coming soon

Corporations are just one part of the puzzle. The central banking interests, that control our money supply, are the ultimate power. If the people can wrestle this power back, by electing independents to congress, not main party politicians, then the people will be the master of all commerce.
