Does anybody else make the connection between marketshare and populations being farmed and cultivated for dollars by corporations. Why is it that all corporations try to monopolise markets.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterI'm making the connection of farming the dollars. Yhe people are the plants the dollars are the fruits. If you choose to follow me this way, you might consider what large scale farming has done to soils across the globe.
