# Corporation
Corporation is basically a huge company that doesn't have a single owner but is rather managed by many shareholders. Corporations are one of the most powerful, dangerous and unethical entities that ever came into existence -- their power is growing, sometimes even beyond the power of states and their sole goal is to make as much profit as possible without any sense of [morality](morality.md). Welcome to the [21st century](21st_century.md)! Existence of corporations is enabled by [capitalism](capitalism.md). Examples of corporations are [Micro$oft](microsoft.md), [EA](ea.md), [Apple](apple.md), [Amazon](amazon.md), [Walmart](walmart.md), [Te$la](tesla.md), [McDonald$](mcdonalds.md), [Facebook](facebook.md) etc. Every [startup](startup.md) is an aspiring corporation, so never support any startup.

NOTE: Besides corporations there also exist non-corporate companies -- privately owned ones -- but these are basically the same, it's just that instead of ten assholes they are owned by one asshole, so anything that will be said about corporations here will apply to any kind of big company. And just like with the startups, any kind of small company is aspiring to become a big company (and if it isn't, it will be eliminated by competition), so all in all everything here will apply to any kind of company whatsoever. The difference between a small company and corporation is like the difference between a small group of terrorists and an army of them.
NOTE: Technically speaking apart from corporations there also exist non-corporate companies -- privately owned ones -- but they are practically no different, it's just that instead of ten assholes they are owned by a single asshole, so anything said here about corporations can be applied to any kind of large company. And just like with the startups, any kind of small company is aspiring to become a big company (and if it isn't, it will be eliminated by [competition](competition.md)), so all in all everything here will apply to any kind of company whatsoever.

**Corporations' interests are in conflict with people's interests** -- this is not a controversial statement, probably everyone agrees with it, nothing is more clear than that corporations WANT and NEED to do evil and that there must exist countless "protection" mechanisms so that people don't get absolutely destroyed and exploited like farm animals. Why, when we would hardly accept for example a court judge or sports referee having even a slight conflict of interests, do we accept the fact that our whole society is almost 100% controlled by entities with such an enormous [conflict of interests](antivirus_paradox.md) with having a society that's good for the people to live in? Why do riots start when it's found a football referee might have made a biased judgment during a game of kicking an inflated ball, but we see practically no opposition to the fact that an entity responsible for our health and literal lives of our families has DIRECT interest in people being sick, that those making software our lives depend on have direct interest in programming it so that it [intentionally breaks](artificial_obsolescence.md), that those ensuring people be fed have direct interest in food being expensive and people NOT being able to make their own food? It is of course because in sports and courts we by definition expect fairness, and so we get upset if it's not upheld, but we do NOT expect [capitalism](capitalism.md) to establish a good society -- as capitalism [by definition](name_is_important.md) focuses on capital ("profit"), NOT the people -- and so we don't even get upset when we don't see happy, free people living good lives under capitalism -- unlike in [socialism](socialism.md), which by definition focuses on the people, capitalism only focuses on maximizing profit on the detriment of everything else, and that is exactly what's happening.
