Sigh. And this is why I trust businesses even less than I trust governments, which is very little too.

I don't get it.  Why do you trust businesses even less than you trust governments?

Cause businesses are led solely by money, so they try to get money in every way possible. "Free Market" has stopped being about the best for cheapest for a long time now, it's about who can manipulate the greatest number of people and blackmail them to steal their money.

It sounds like you are talking about governments.  Really, governments and companies aren't very different.  The main difference is the governments have the monopoly on the use of force to get what they want.  Companies have to use non-forceful ways to get what they want, at least for the most part.  Sometimes governments and companies team up, and in those cases, companies are allowed to use force.
