Pretty much the title. I find myself in discussions about ever degrading working and living conditions in the US (first and foremost) and some in germany (especially IT companies).

What just came to my mind:

If I were Microsoft, Google, Apple and Amazon (add billionaires and other billion dollar companies as you like) and wanted to make the most money possible, with my limited competence but unlimited greed and resources, I would pressure politicians to change policy for my benefit and against workers and consumers (check).

But some of the more mobile folks would move to other countries, endangering my and the cooperating country‘s income.

So, since I own the media as well, I spark fascist propaganda everywhere I can to keep people from voting with their feet.

Am I totally losing it or does this make sense?

P.S.: Sorry if this is the wrong place but I thought I‘d ask folks with diverse opinions that are open to discuss capitalist failures without shutting it down immediately.
