Well, they are beneficial because mass production. The scale of benefit is arguable, but overall, mass production and protection of corporations has benefited the poor.
We could debate at what scale they benefit the people and how we use governmental power to provide the BEST for the people, but that is a small government vs large government debate.
I mostly agree that it's too late to fix, but I operate on a principal of "do as you'd do in a perfect world," so I still argue it could and should be strived for: that perfect balance of democracy, socialism, incredibly moderate authoritarianism, and a focus on what 'freedom' can be, the kind of freedom where everyone can do as they please as long as it doesn't disrupt everyone else's freedom. I know, though, it's a pipe dream and likely unachievable.
However, overall, you make a very fair, realistic, and unfortunate, point.
We live in a world where it is actually cheaper and more cost-effective to be rich. If that doesn't show how broken things are, I don't know what else does.
The corporations are one of the main reasons that there's such a huge inequality divide (and thus so many homeless people) in the first place, you plum. Giving a bit of free food away should be a given, considering everything else they've done.
Corporations boosted the economies of western civilisation and have done so since medieval guilds; protection of goods.
The inequality divide is a byproduct. Thatcher made the point that the poorest under a capitalist system will ultimately live better lives than under a socialist system. For example, rednecks in the 80s lived better lives than eastern europeans in the 80s.
I made the anecdote of charity, but it's trickle down economics, bro.
Thatcher made that point, completely missing the other point that a further fusing of socialism and capitalism would probably make things even better for everyone. Just because the poorest in this country are 'better off' here than in another country, it doesn't mean that this system isn't still broken and that their lives aren't still marred by a lack of social mobility or opportunity and that they don't still live in abject poverty.
Being pissed on from a great height is preferable to getting shat on from a great height, but personally I'd just rather not get pissed on or shat on at all. I'm certainly not going to wave up to the suit with his knob out pissing on me and say "Well done bro, thanks for saving me from getting shat on! Top bloke! Capitalism for the win!"
Your own lack of social mobility combined with what could be described as your "cucking" for big business of late is an interesting element to this, though, so at least there's that.
Yeah, I'd imagine so. That's why I figure Supra might be on the chopping block, seeing as he was banned, like, a few weeks ago and has been shit-stirring. Who knows, though?

I thought Ziggy himself said the mods were going to allow him to return (as he is a sock) as long as he didn't promote conflict on here. Seems he's already violated the terms.

It's a bogeyman, America is incredibly deregulated compared to other developed Western nations. Like holy fck, we just passed a law protecting banks from legal persecution for fcking over civilians.

And you don't think an all purpose offense statement like that was meant facetiously? I mean what race was he trying to promote the superiority or inferiority of?
