If you think that kings, queens and despots are a thing of the past then think again. They have morphed into corporations. Pfizer pharmaceuticals went into New London, Connecticut, US a few years ago and with the help of the city displaced dozens and dozens of homeowners with a promise to build a big hotel and other facilities and provide jobs. Homeowner were rendered homeless and could not do much to save their homes. Even the US Supreme Court decided against them. Now Pfizer is picking up and leaving and saying that it has no obligation of any kind to the city or displaced homeowners. Does that not remind you of the despotic kings of England and despots of other societies who did similar things? Only the labels have changed but the beasts are still aplenty in modern day society.
