What Horrible Companies Still Exist But Shouldn't?

Meta-retailers treating their workers horribly. Cell phone companies locking you into ridiculous contracts. Health insurance companies that deny every claim because you're a pre-existing condition. Unleash some fury on companies that need to go out of business NOW.

  1. Great question, and this is not the answer you're looking for, sorry, but if we're daydreaming, why not daydream BIG?

    What horrible companies still exist but shouldn't? EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THEM. Here's a brief list.

    Even fifty years ago most banks and restaurants, grocery stores and cable companies, hospitals and medical clinics, drug stores, hardware stores, butchers, bakers, and candlestick-makers were locally owned, not subsidiaries of multinational conglomerates, not franchise operations.

    You and I live 2,000 miles from each other, and at that distance, any company so enormous that we've both heard of it is a company that's almost certainly sidestepped, bent and broken myriad laws — and purchased whatever laws it didn't break —to become the logo everyone recognizes. It's a company that shouldn't be allowed to exist.

    There are exceptions to any rule, sure, but the exceptions we allow should be rare. Any company's enormousness should make it subject to scrutiny by anti-trust and other investigators, under penalty of existential death.
