“PON DE LION” on the job (via kimmaki)
Some things must be reblogged.
![I remember going to the American History museum recently in DC and all the exhibits were subsidized by a corporation of some sort, the Transportation exhibit which skillfully omits the buying and closing of public trams in major cities was sponsored by GM! This made me kind of sick as its not the idea of America and free market and checks and balances as intended but I guess it was a realistic reflection of the reality of things. Anyway, let us reflect on two things today… first:
Paula Scher (Pentagram Graphic Design) on “Brand America” MUST SEE!
and then…
The Great American Streetcar Conspiracy
and this Fourth of July I dedicate to Thomas Jefferson…
Jefferson’s view on corporations:
Jefferson in 1816 wrote to George Logan
” In this respect England exhibits the most remarkable phenomenon in the universe in the contrast between the profligacy of it’s government and the probity of it’s citizens. And accordingly it is now exhibiting an example of the truth of the maxim that virtue & interest are inseparable. It ends, as might have been expected, in the ruin of it’s people, but this ruin will fall heaviest, as it ought to fall on that hereditary aristocracy which has for generations been preparing the catastrophe. I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it’s birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.[51]”
