Ahaha “trust the corporations” haha

Wow. What an unashamed piece of utter propaganda. “Trust the corporations, they’re full of the best genius people who will do wonderful things for humanity”… let’s just forget the last 150 years of wholesale greed, environmental destruction, and human wage slavery. Corporations are totally two thumbs up, the good guys. AHAHAHA.
