In light of the recent NBC & FCC debacle, I thought this would be an appropriate thread.

Do yourself a favor and read the definition of CORPORATISM. Capitalist all the way to Socialists are against this.


FCC Commissioner Approves Comcast/NBC Deal, Leaves FCC To Go Work For Comcast
Less than four months after Commissioner Baker voted to approve Comcast's takeover of NBC Universal, she's reportedly departing the FCC to lobby for Comcast-NBC. This is just the latest — though perhaps most blatant — example of a so-called public servant cashing in at a company she is supposed to be regulating.

As recently as March, Commissioner Baker gave a speech lamenting that review of the Comcast-NBC deal 'took too long.' What we didn't know then was that she was in such a rush to start picking out the drapes in her new corner office.

No wonder the public is so nauseated by business as usual in Washington — where the complete capture of government by industry barely raises any eyebrows. The continuously revolving door at the FCC continues to erode any prospects for good public policy. We hope — but won't hold our breath — that her replacement will be someone who is not just greasing the way for their next industry job.”
 
I think that all corporations except for LLC and LPs need to be strictly nonprofit business entities.
