Reddit reviews The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power

I'm assuming this film is based on the book by the same name.

> whenever I bring up that he may have a viable wrongful termination suit, he scoffs at the notion.

If your father does not want to fight this, let it go. If he does want to fight it, do your research and find out the names of local reporters who cover this kind of story and contact them.

> What can I get away with without hurting my father's chance at future jobs and not violate the very ethics that I wish my father's employers would have adhered to?

Very little. Also, understand that corporations by their very nature are amoral, cf. The Corporation.

Look at dem numbers.

Also, sorry, skimmed through your post history to perhaps glean what ails you, but perhaps your anxiety/stress stemming from these surrounding issues are increasing the occurrence of a lack of proper airflow/air intake during sleep, and disrupting the process of healing that's supposed to occur during the night, leading to long-term damage to your heart?

Your parents love you for a reason, and you shouldn't feel that resources or money are even a factor in their considerations. They love you, period, and you'll have plenty of time to repay your family/society/whoever you want just through the act of living well.\

Also, there's a lot of technology coming around the corner where organ fabrication/replacement/etc. is going to be a very common/real thing, but that's not to say that you can't still work with your doctor to mitigate symptoms/risks for now.

Take care, friend. Life is a strange journey indeed, but it can be rewarding if you let it be.

Edit: I would say that it's a nice poem, but I cannot agree that the best way to get back at those you feel have slighted you is to cease one's own existence. That would be tantamount to a full surrender. You still have some fight left in you, don't you? Fighting back is the best way to give the bird to all the turds.

I just started to read The Corporation. Highly recommended. The author is a professor of law and basically tries to argue that corporations are pathological institutions.

There's also a documentary by the same name if anyone doesn't feel like reading the book. Highly recommended as well. It's hilarious that it came out years before the financial crisis.

If you can see past the lefty bent (bias), The Corporation based on book of the same name does provide a decent beginner history of the legal construct otherwise known as the limited liability corporation.

Not that we need a book to inform us that corporations have too much power and control over the government, but I recommend "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" by Joel Bakan.

The Corporation by Joel Bakan is a good (brief) read on this topic.

You could watch this some what biased canadian documentary, this will give you an understanding why people hate corporations.
