Elitist view or rational thing?

We had all those wonderful things before corperations came to any kind of surpremacy in the market.

You're right, we did have cars. except nobody could afford them until Henry Ford made them so cheap most Americans could buy them. You wouldn't have a laptop, no internet, or even power without General Electric. Even if you did have a car that was horribly overpriced because it was made by hand, what would you put in it? No corporations to import gas means no importing gas. And as for pollution, everybody pollutes. It is not just the corporations. The standard of living we enjoy today is the product of corporations. Big ones that make tons of money

I just learned that before the advent of cars gasoline was a waste product of the production of kerosine! And that waste was tossed in the river!!
