That's for the people who didn't get the memo. (Oops. I
just picked up the expression from Zenaan. I hope he doesn't
sue me)
Now, here's another important memo :
Firms like gaagle, bank of amerikkka, amerikkka online, etc, are
textbook examples of corporatism, mercantilism and, given their
support for the american fascist state, they can be classed as
outright fascist.
(American) big businesses have NOTHING to do with "free market
capitalism".
Interestingly enough both anti-libertarians and fake
libertarians like to pretend that big fascist businesses are
justified by libertarian philosophy.

A flawed understanding it seems.
