Just look how Amazon got where it is now: Sell way under market price, till local competition closed shop, then squeeze.
No backup, no mercy.

It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a “perfect” free market society.
A “free market” as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One
presidentführerCEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.So you tell me: What’s not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?
Profit over everything else is part of which ideology again?
Capitalism kills

Nope, but that is an entirely different problem. Major platforms have to be legislated to tightly control which ads they run. The amount of misinformation spread through ads is enormous.

OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:
To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.
However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷
There is a limit to that effect, though. And most observers agree that the state is subsidizing heavily.
