Because those damn radical rightwing judges on the Supreme Court this is the ONLY way to outlaw any store of any company that doesn't do at least a billion in sales a year locked down and out of business by the government.
It intolerable that some nobody-woman has a little clothing store. It must - and is - now outlawed for example. WalMart is where you buy clothes. Cheap slave labor clothes because slave labor is the most efficient.
The reason the billionaires are billionaires is because they are genius! The bought ALL television networks and news, ALL newpapers and of course totally control the Internet. With this, they could undertake a 24/7 every day and night campaing of terror and hate mongers to cause everyone to agree with them that all sales MUST come to them and that all their competition MUST be outlaws and put out of business.
Of course, they then need more employees as their competition is ordered illegal and shut down, all those employees have to go stock WalMart and Amazon's warehouses and be their workers too. Just minutes ago, the salesman for one of our suppliers told me he is laid off indefinitely - as have 1200 other people, but it is NOT a mega billion dollar company. WalMart and Amazon need him to work stocking for $15 an hour - and work FAST!!! too. With unemployment going to 30%, they'll get all the low paid workers they want - CHEAP.
They found their way around the Supreme Court and the Constitution/Bill of Rights this way. Like I said, brilliant tactic!!!
So, like China, Russia and all totalitarian governments which brilliantly have 90% of all wealth in a few hands, the USA also will modernize this way to. Be patient. This transformation will be completed by the 1st of June, July at the latest.
PS. I agree with you and believe by the non-stop terror and hate campaign most Americans now have an IQ of about 60. The only thing that matters to them is having toilet paper. Terror and Hate reduces people to their most primitive instincts eliminating any rational or complex thinking ability. Whatever the billionaires tell them on TV is all they can grasp - as long as it is really, really, really simple.
