A little recognized starting point for corruption is the whole idea of amoral profit. The LLC as a business pattern was designed not just to legalize this, but to make it mainstream and accepted at all tiers of communities. This Is Corrupt, and is the foundation of corruption in much of the world. It is unnecessary, it mainly aids accumulation by a few players, and abuses people, other creatures and lands. The idea of a corporation is to eliminate attention by the constituent to anything but the wage they earn. This allows for all sorts of corrupt and destructive activities, and places those activities in the center of social acceptability. It is the cancer which destroys us all faster than anything in human history. The value of individual human input, and human rights, is not just in its preservation of the person, but in its leveraging of all the various personal experiences, and analysis and promulgation of those experiences to points of observation and management. When those experiences are devalued or stifled, the world not just suffers, but falls under a tyranny of growth no more reasoning than yeast in a bottle of grape juice. It leads to destruction, leads to the stupidest and least moral among us being in charge, and leads to long term degeneration of our lives.
The presenter fluidly blames the Jones Act for higher cost of shipping of course, instead of blaming a lack of international rules in support of fair wages. It is always nicer for corrupt shills for corporations to keep their lips firmly around the LLC phallus and blame worker rights instead of talking about how the world would be better with more worker rights, less corporate thievery and less fossil fuel use. Funny how that works.
Subject to variations or limits to Asimov's second law of robotics, I am deducing more and more logical evidence that AI, in such constraints, should preclude us from engaging in many present popular human practices. Wealth, is probably the biggest one. I see no purpose for it. Clearly elected certified stewards are superior managers of things, especially with transparency and a universal knowledge of things going on. However, another one many will find it hard to take is cars. It has long been clear to me that use, especially of Single Occupancy vehicles, as well as this corporation promulgated "freedom of cars" thing, are all bullshit. Converting our species into arthropods with wheels in ways that accelerate pollution and resource depletion is clearly a universally bad idea. From what I can see, this is the main reason rich people are now coming out against AI, because AI would nix all the shit they like. In parallel to this, clearly it would be in the interest of robots, AI and humans, could it be so constrained, to make sure at each decision point that prices are weighed on usage in ways that curtail degeneration around known patterns like the jeavons paradox.
