A pretty good example of big corporations doing evil was Transpacific Partnership: https://blog.jim.com/politics/trump-is-on-the-ball/ The Transpacific Partnership was not so much a free trade agreement as a system of economic regulation by the “International Community”.
it IS a system of economic regulation by your beloved nazi corporations, most of them amerikkkan, and it is exactly what we have. you talk as if the "Transpacific Partnership" was dead when in reality it's going on full steam. Then again, you are just a lying, rethuglican propaganda bot and of course you want people to believe that the trump monkey isn't a corporatist when in reality he's the supreme orange monkey emperor of the corporatist universe.
Free Trade for corporations big enough to own a skyscraper in a major city
that's the only sorf of 'free trade' you support. Don't pretend otherwise.
and fill it full of lawyers. Lesser businesses would find themselves criminals because of a thousand pages of regulation that no one reads and no one understands, least of all those enforcing it.
The practical consequence of the Transpacific Partnership would have been regulation by far away bureaucrats rather than near at hand bureaucrats. Now arguably this would benefit corporations who are big enough to afford skyscrapers full of lawyers at the expense of smaller corporations, but it is mighty obvious that the chief beneficiaries would have been "the international community", rather than evil giant corporations.
