sometimes they deliver the goods:
They were arrested in connection with their “theft and unauthorized use of credit cards to defraud several national financial institutions, credit card companies, and major retailers, resulting in more than $1.3 million in intended losses as well as the theft of hundreds of identities.”

The path that leads politicians to power is covered in corporate money. As we've discussed ad nauseum both sides play the game, which is why there's so little representation for the little guy at the Federal level. BIG things need to happen to get our country back on track, like ending the FED, shutting down the FBI, stopping Big Pharma and Big Tech monopolies, and generally stomping out our wonderful non-partisan Deep State. I think only Trump can do it at this time, and further I think he'd probably be assassinated if made serious headway.

Businesses which do a certain thing really well tend to grow and prosper.
Some might draw a comparison between that, and the tendency of people from certain ethnic and cultural backgrounds to also prosper and rise to the top of corporate governance.
To forcibly break up either form of homogeneity is to argue that the products of natural selection are contrary to your own personal view of the ideal structure of society.

I can't help but to perceive a fundamental similarity between those people crying out that government needs to break up monopolies, and those crying out that government needs to force corporations to have diverse governing boards.

Forcing a company to add colors or sexes to their BOD is just plain racist and sexist. Completely different concept.

It's OK Cord, Joe wants to pretend that people calling for antitrust laws to be enacted are the same as those calling for mandatory diversity in corporate leadership much the way he views "businesses which do a certain thing really well tend to grow and prosper" even though they did those things by forcing/suing/buying all of their competition out of business as "products of natural selection".

Some interesting facts about Rockefeller and Standard Oil.
1) They consistently gave the consumer the best product at the lowest price.
2) When the US government broke up Standard Oil, Rockefeller ended up with a share of each of the new companies, and his net worth actually increased.
