    It’s funny because the US is usually like “rah rah democracy!!” but also loves private corporations, which are extremely authoritarian.

      America was founded by a tobacco company. The Virginia Company had the first successful settlement. And then some obnoxious cultists got kicked out of England joined them.

      Comparing employees to citizens is absurd.

      • Citizens pay taxes and receive services
      • Employees provide services and receive money.

      The more apt comparison is voting citizens compared to shareholders. They too get a vote.

        That’s not the point. The point is people spend most of their day under an authoritarian regime. Taxes and services are irrelevant to this.
