It’s not just that government treats corporations like they’re people; it’s how often they treat people as though they are not.

The airlines demanded a massive bailout of nearly $60 billion in taxpayer dollars, ended up getting $50 billion — half in loans, half in direct grants that don't need to be paid back. Then they fired tens of thousands of people anyway! But we can’t get $2k/mo #DirectCashRelief?

“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement...Get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.”

The profit motive should have no place in these three areas: 1) healthcare, 2)reporting the news, and 3)the defense industry. Our world would be an infinitely better place if in those three areas profit were removed from the equation.
