Some health care numbers don't tally

the main point is that there are rules involved with becoming a corporation -- if there was no government, who'd enforce the rules?

In Wajoma world, the free market will conjure rules out of thin air, and corporations will magically adhere to these rules, and never cheat, mislead or deceive anyone. It's obvious that what makes corporations the most money is ultimately also best for society. So if it's cheaper to dump toxic waste in rivers then that's obviously the right thing to do, especially since toxic waste is not toxic in Wajoma world.

Threats of starvation surely are a threat of force.

Yes. There is something called the violence of poverty.

In my case Wajoma called me a liar and flounced off in a huff of passive aggressive silence when I critiqued his reality-denying sociopathic creed with this bald fact:

The threat of starvation and destitution ARE threats of force, every bit as much as the activities of knuckle-dustered enforcers on corporate payrolls.

But as you pointed out the other day, in WajomaWorld the poor and the destitute have exactly the same power as multi-national corporations.

Well, they do. That's why the CEO unions often go on strike if the employees' demands are too high.
