10. Really, most jobs are with corporations.

Even local jobs at small businesses are usually corporate jobs. Businesses incorporate to reduce liability for their owners. So, even the small companies people work for have Inc. as part of their names.

These days, it's rare to have a real job that is not for a company that is a corporation. Even non-profits are incorporated, in most cases.

People don't think about that very often. They're so busy being angry at Amazon or General Motors that they forget that the local HVAC company or restaurant is also a corporation. It's a rare business that isn't these days, for many reason.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
