I own a business, a small business mind you that has yet to turn a profit but I am a business owner and I've been working 60 hours a week trying to build it to be successful.
There is this very negative stereotype about corporations and how evil they are and how we need to regulate them like crazy.
Let's take a huge corporation like google, google is a company I despise. I won't give my reasons here because it's irrelevant. But because I dislike them, I have removed them from my life. I don't use google for anything. I even adblock youtube on my phone and computer. (Sorry content creators)
When google does something bad people want regulations, instead of removing them from their life.
When you have a bad friend you don't ask the government to make them stop doing something. You tell them stop and when they won't you end the friendship. Companies are people the more you support bad business practices the more you will see of them. Regulations just allow bad people to stay in business, when you make it so a business can't destroy itself you ruin the concept of a free market.
My point being corporations are people, and just like people instead of asking the government to make them a good friend, you find a better friend. Theres so many small businesses out there that believe in treating people right, but it's hard for them to grow as we put more and more regulations on things. Where I'm from they've made a new rule on licenses for crane operators over a certain weight limit. It's not some license that you go take some simple test for, it's thousands of dollars per person. This means most small crane businesses won't be afford to run anymore, and definitely new businesses won't be able to be started.
This is sorta just my stream of thoughts on the subject.
I essentially agree with @InnocentBystander 's thoughts here.
A large corporation has a singular objective: profit. If left to its own devices of course it will abuse the market and form a monopoly if it can, because that's how you guarantee profit, and consumers alone have very limited options when fighting against monopolies.
Many businesses are monopolistic in nature: water supply is just one example. If a company takes control of the infrastructure supplying water to your house then pushes the price to extremes, ghosting it is pretty hard to do, and consumers shouldn't be put in that position.
If you want to compare a corporation to a person, I think 'evil' is a fairly useful label. That person's only goal is money, it can rapidly amass fantastic power and influence, and will abuse/manipulate actual people without a second thought to further that goal because it doesn't really have the capacity for secondary objectives. If you let your bad friend become a tyrant and enslave you, you no longer have the option of ending the friendship.
