Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I completely agree that we should call out companies for their practices, when we, as a group, deem them unfair.  Similarly, you should call them out, as you see fit, as should I, as I do -- that being in individual circumstances.  But the term, "unfair," is subjective.  What you consider unfair, I may not.  How do we measure "fairness"?  I submit to you that an objective analysis of what is and is not "fair" is nearly, if not firmly, impossible.

The process by which regulations are changed is determined by a democratically-elected state government and the administrative agencies it oversees.  I'm completely in agreement with you, in that the state and local governments should not have offered tax breaks and subsidies to companies.  But they chose to do so, and they can be voted out, if the people are sufficiently angered by it.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
