I wouldn’t call Microsoft the evil megacorporation that controls every aspect of your life… there’s also Amazon, Google, Apple, Samsung…

Or, in fact… turns out those guys aren’t even close to controlling the more important aspects of our lives:

• Only 10 corporations control almost everything you buy

Or for that matter has the most control:

• The 147 companies that control everything

Uh, and then it turns out, at least most of the 147 companies on the second link are mutual fund companies… and who owns mutual funds? Well… we, the people, do…

The only question to ask; does this make them more or less evil?
