I have nothing against companies of any size that got that way from having great products that everybody wants. That raises everybody's standard of living. What I hate is rich people and their companies manipulating the laws to make themselves richer.
Educating anyone benefits everyone.

What actually happens is that when a company has great products that everyone wants, the owner makes millions and buys other companies with great products that everyone wants and makes millions more...then buys other companies that make great products...
Pretty soon you have a multinational conglomerate with a billionaire at its head and thousands of workers being exploited worldwide. What you get is Chinese sweatshops flooding the market with not so great products that no one really needs and nobody's standard of living is getting raised except the corporate investors and the billionaire at the top.

And after that you wind up with a tyrant who "offers products and services" that don't actually perform at all except in the mind of the tyrant and his victims. 1. Trump Airlines 2. Trump beverages 3. Trump: The Game 4. Trump casinos 5. Trump magazine 6. Trump Mortgage 7. Trump Steaks 8. Trump’s travel site 9. Trump’s comms company - Trumpnet 10. Trump Tower Tampa 11. Trump University 12. Trump Vodka And of course, his latest --- The Trump Election Defense Fund**This is where the final stage is reached, a product or service, "defense of elections", that doesn't actually exist.

Trump is a bit player who never had any products that anybody wanted. A petty swindler at best. Certainly not one of the Titans of American Imperialism.

Latest economic news is that there won't be a recession as previously feared. I wish the media would also report on that.

How'd you find out about it if the media isn't reporting it?
I googled it and according to the media we ain't necessarily out of the woods yet. The economy will likely slow in 2022 and we may narrowly avoid a recession in 2023.
That's not the kind of economic news to warrant a ticker-tape parade. Do your non-media sources paint a rosier picture? Spill the tea! Are things about to turn around big time?

Latest economic news is that there won't be a recession as previously feared. I wish the media would also report on that. The media loves drama and dramatic turns of events. The simple, boring, news when were where growing up has long been replaced by Inside Edition/Entertainment Tonight-like news 24/7.

Re "Blame Biden" --- classic case of damned if he does/damned if he doesn't.
Blamed for gas prices, supply chain issues, inflation etc... and when he tries to work a deal it's "let's whine about fist bumping!"
Want less of that? Buy an electric car or else prepare for lots more sucking up unless you can piss your own gasoline.
What ARE the media trying to sell us anyway?
"Hey kids! Biden's old, FASCISM'S new & improved! Vote Republican in the mid-terms & they'll 'make the trains run on time!'"
They must want swastikas on our flag reeeeeal bad.
