Tucker Carlson: MLB, Delta and Coca-Cola push Georgia and America down road to corporatocracy

In a democracy, the people rule. But what do you call a system in which all the really important decisions are made by big companies without any reference at all to what voters want?

But that doesn't mean our leaders turned down the opportunity to leverage the tragedy. Ilhan Omar immediately called for gun control even though the assailant apparently didn't have a gun, just a knife. She's not a genius, as we've noted before. Then the usual experts told us we need even more barbed wire around the Capitol. It's too open to the public, they said. To keep our democracy safe, we must wall off voters from the leaders who supposedly represent them. Well, that's already happening across the country, both physically in the Green Zone-style barriers you suddenly see everywhere around government buildings, and also on a far deeper level, a level that can't be undone as quickly as a fence. In a democracy, the people rule. If voters want something done over time, it happens. That's what self-government is. But what do you call a system in which all the really important decisions are made by big companies without any reference at all to what voters want? Well, that is not democracy. It's corporatocracy, and it's starting to look a lot like what we have now. Here's the latest example: Major League Baseball announced Friday it's pulling two of the biggest events in sports, the All-Star Game and the MLB Draft, out of the state of Georgia. Why is Major League Baseball weighing in on this? Because voters in the state of Georgia made a decision that the Biden administration doesn't like. As with so many big corporations, Major League Baseball believes it now has veto power over the democratic process. By the way, they may be right.
