I've worked for corporations too ... no one is saying they are Boy Scouts but they are efficient. I also don't think IBM is the evil caricature you seem to paint. You may want to chill a bit or share some specifics about your days at IBM to back up the evil doings intimations.

Also I would note, it’s not just corporations … if people writ large were left unchecked it would not be pretty. That’s why we have laws
