Meaningless statement, corporations don't create the overpriced goods but merely the brand.

Huh?

Pretty stupid picture. Corporations have monopolized much of what we consume leaving people without choice and without freedom. The two things a 'free market' is suppose to provide.

Its called capitalism buddy

Huh?
Your saying these people are idiots for using products made by corporations.
The fact is people don't hate the product they hate the methods the product makers use.

Monopolies have never had a valued role in capitalism it's bad for your economy in the long run.

WTF? What exactly is monopolized where I cannot make a choice? Are you somehow inferring that the US does not follow through with its anti-trust laws?
I can go to any school I want to. There are hundreds of brands of clothing to choose from. I can drive any of the hundreds of new cars I want to(ok, not a Ferrari, but whatever). I can grow food in my backyard. I can choose to live anywhere in the states. I can shop at dozens of stores within a 2 block radius. I can purchase whatever different foods I want from a multitude of grocers. I can go homeless if I want to. I can assume a fat mortgage if I want to. I CAN FUCKIN' BUY PROTEIN ON GETBIG'S MAIN PAGE, FERFUCKSAKES!
Does America have problems? You bet your ass. Are there some freedoms that we are denied? Yes, and much, if not most, is at the behest of government.

Its funny how you mention cars, when there are only 5or6 brands. Not a single company has broken into the car market in over 50 years. This is the fact of the open market. Again you can say what you want about so called liberals,
but must liberals aren't advocating communism, yes all conservatives pretty much rally around no government.

What do you mean by "methods?"
What type of method(s) would be acceptable to you/them?

Hardly. Most conservatives rally around government force for their strange values, you shouldn't mix conservatives with libertarians.

Yes and its just an experiment that has jumped the shark in the west.

mikmak, uh a corporation provides jobs for thousands of people. because it makes billions of dollars in revenue, it pays large amounts of taxes, plus throw in the added value of making people happy, cause lets face it you dont really NEED that ipad! now how is that bad for the economy exactly?

Have you ever thought for one minute that R&D on products such as an IPHONE requires BILLIONS of dollars in Capital to make such a product a reality.
If you want to live in the Stone-Age, by all means, move to the Third or Second World.

Meh that's the irrelevant side of the republican party that even most right wringers laugh at, the actual conservatives are usually libertarians.

Dude I'm studying industrial engineering I get the shit better than most capitalist, the problem is everyone turns it into a either or situation.
We either kill the capitalist or we let them do whatever they want, neither is rational or productive for society as a whole. I am for the most part a libertarian, but my rational must acknowledge the need for some regulation in the interest of the public mental and physical health, and in the interest of having a functional economy that isn't dominated by monopolies.

All these fools are protesting because they're all on the outside looking in.
Give any of those fuckers a decent paying job where they can afford a decent apartment, car and bills with some money leftover to pay....they'd be happy to join the "establishment".
They're all too stupid to realize and think for themselves.
You need to go create shit and market yourself. If there are no opportunities in your area for the shit you want to do....fucking move!
My girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend has a shitty graphic arts degree from Columbia in Chicago. guy moved back to buttfuck, ohio to find a job.
...wouldn't one think there would be more opportunities in a large city for a graphic arts field?

You don't like big corps then go work for a small nonprofit or teach.

I wish I lived in NY now. I'd go and buy a couple thousand white and black t-shirts, print some stupid anti Wall Street shit on them and sell them for a few bucks. I think it could be good business.

Some good points on that page.
Walking through the shopping malls, I see a lot of stressed, materialistic obsessed and unhappy folks. Esp, they should ask themselves those happiness questions.
-

I'm serious though. I would do it. Hey Jaejonna, if you see this, you live there right?
(yes I'm taking a course on entrepreneurship, lol)

I live in South Florida, and maybe it is different in NYC or wherever, but I've yet to see a Hispanic hobo.(Hobo is a hilarious word) They are either white or black. Why? Because hispanics......freakin'........WORK. Perhaps some of these protesters should go pick some beans or cut some lawns to pocket a bit of money instead of shitting and pissing on sidewalks.
-

yes sir!!!! :)
-
but my rational must acknowledge the need for some regulation in the interest of the public mental and physical health, and in the interest of having a functional economy that isn't dominated by monopolies.
I think most would agree w/you here.
We need some regulation, but do you see that over regulation kills companies and jobs?
Would you please answer this? I'm not trying to set you up or anything, I am genuinely interested in your answer or the answer of people that say they hate corporations.
What do you mean by "methods?"
What type of method(s) would be acceptable to you/them?

Pretty stupid picture. Corporations have monopolized much of what we consume leaving people without choice and without freedom. The two things a 'free market' is suppose to provide.
We don't have a true "Free Market", our government, the tax code, the Fed and big money have seen to that being done away with.

'Dude' - I'm getting my PhD in Industrial Engineering, so don't even try to throw that line at me!
Who the fuck says Capitalists are doing whatever they want???? Are you joking? You know how many regulations they are regarding certain products and technologies, and just to get shit done in this economy. Tech have to go through the FCC.... Meds have to go through the FDA.... Electrical products have to get UL certified... etc etc etc...Banking and such need to go through the Federal Reserves and the IRS!
Come on man!
-
Its called capitalism buddy
No it's not. A free market is suppose to safeguard monopolies, yet it doesn't. A failure of capitalist thinking is that competitive pressures will prevent monopolies from occurring. The whole idea is based on the assumption that monopolies have less incentive to innovate, thereby leaving the door open to new entrepreneurs to undermine the monopoly with better products. This is not the case at all and another reason why capitalism is not a system worth having.
-

Ah yes the 'we don't have a true free market' approach. There can never be a true free market so if that is the true barrier. Capitalism will always fail.

I agree with you, I'm not saying that is what is, I saying this is what most people support, either let them do as they please, or kill em all.

Funny picture lol.

Yea, usa is free market LOL ::) ::)
They only allow their own companies in their market. And then accuse other countries for protectionism when they do the same.
What a sad collapsing former colony.

Are you joking??? If anything American businesses right now are struggling because of the influx of foreign companies in America, and now the government is talking about and trying to put out incentives to boost American businesses and to promote "Made in America"

Right because every city needs a hundred different landscapers to choose from. Or 500 hundred different mexican joints. If these Mexican's sat on the streets, maybe America would open there eye's and put some serious scratchola into the education sector.

LOL first of all the only made 7.9 billion i suspect your moronic ass is looking at revenue not earnings.
Second didnt they release the ipad 2 during the first quarter? hmmmmm
you look at numbers like these and make moronic assumptions without even knowing the underlying reasonings or other numbers like they actually increased investments in the company took on more debt etc...
Congrats on proving everyone right about you dip shit
-
And?
.. if by pointing out that R&D can cost billions you were attempting to prove that corporations needed lower tax rates, or that they couldnt sustain an increase in tax rates, then your wrong. companies are making record profits that far exceed what they will spend on future R&D. and even if they werent, while they are, it still woudlnt be an argument because the goal of government is not to facilitate the devlopment of technologies.. at this point were only further devaluing ourselves and lowering our stature as we increase tech capabilities.

This post should be stickied and used as nominee for dumbest thing said on getbig.com for 2011.
So, in a successful open market, the cost of materials to build cars, the infrastructure required to manufacture them and the cost of employing a workforce to compete in the global market should be so cheap that 800 or 900 different car companies should exist? ::)
If you really are this stupid, your IP adress should be tracked down and you should be euthanized for the good of humanity.

The problem with Americans is they are so fucking brainwashed by the media, the political pundits, etc. that they have no clue what true capitalism and a free market really is. Most corporations in America nowadays are antithetical to everything that capitalism and the free market stands for.........competition, transparency, etc. Moreover, many Americans can't distinguish between a mega corporation and small business. This is why conservatives like the teatards are such idiots. They lump them all into the same category. Half the reason we have high taxes in this country is because the corporations don't pay their fare share and the tax money we do pay goes to bailing them out. So while the idiot right blames government for everything they fail to hold the other half of the problem accountable. All Americans have to do is take a good cold hard look around them and see how anticapitalist and anti free market their country is. We have become less of an ownership society and more of an employee based society. All the capital is flowing into the hands of a few. America is about property rights, owning land, etc. Adam Smith and John Locke the capitalist visionaries never imagined capitalism in the hands of a few mega corporations. They viewed America as a place where everyone had the opportunity to become a capitalist by owning their way of life and the income produced by productive property. But again American idiots think capitalism = consumerism and because we have mcmansions, nice cars and apple Iphones we are "capitalists". Meanwhile most Americans own little if any land, many don't own their houses, few own their cars and most don't even own their college education. Everything is owned by the banks i.e. debt. And as "ownership" dies off in the USA and everything increasingly is owned by a handful of families, people, and corporations.......so too does democracy and freedom.
