@TexasObserver @gusbova This is the result of the corrupt SCOTUS decision on Citizens United, compliments of the anti-democracy Federalist Society oligarchs: corporations don't want govt. restrictions or regulations on ruthless corp. policies. No unions or wage laws to prevent them using the most vulnerable humans as grist for greed.

Here's their plan, from 1980. No labor laws; child labor is now being legalized in GOP states.

Because being billionaires isn't enough for them.
