"Parasitically creating a strangle-hold on our entire society and much of its economy, heavily stifling choice and daily making people struggle, even those who don't purchase any of their products, all for their own greed."

Oh wait no, I read from the wrong page, but you are right, it's: "create wealth for their shareholders", yeah that's the ticket. :-D

Bonus points for getting many middle-class people to be complicit, by adding a layer of indirection so that they don't even know where their stock is located, only that it performs AT ANY COST (or else is sold & others that DO are purchased in their stead). That way the younger generations do not have to care for the elderly, b/c the stock market is doing that for them. Yay capitalism!:-)
