They rule the world, they rule the politicians, and they rule us.  Now they just say jump and watch as we all say "how high?"

Hold on a minute, you listed companies. Companies aren't people and they do not have motivations. Who are these people you're talking about? This doesn't sound much different than the eternal accusations against "the bankers", "the diamond merchants", or "the Jews."

Rich, powerful people run these companies and push the direction they want to go.  These same people also answer to other rich and powerful investors and board members.  Larry Fink (Blackrock's CEO), for example, is the most powerful person on Wall Street, which might make him the most powerful person in the world.  They own over $9 trillion in assets, it would be the 3rd largest economy in the world if it were its own country.  You don't think these people can just do whatever they want and shape the direction the world decides to go on huge decisions and not have influence over our everyday lives? Surprise, he's also a democrat.
