> Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.
For those who do not recognize it, that’s a quote from The Devil’s Dictionary, written by Ambrose Bierce between 1881 and 1906, published in full in 1911. And yes, that is the full definition given for the word “Corporation”:
to describe that from another angle -- history is full of great violence, great chemical harm, great swindles and great despots "which worked remarkably well and makes us richer" .. Puritans and swamp-hunters have been pushed aside by New York attorneys and their masters of the day. And we allow all of that "because it works remarkably well and makes us richer" .. and I able to type this too.
Why are we allowing some entity to profit from the upside and lumber us all with the downside costs?
