Your theory is essentially Marxist (capital colluding to hold down the workers), and like all Marxist theories, falls apart when applied to reality.<p>Saying things like the homeless &#x27;serve a function&#x27; for corporations to &#x27;keep down wages and agitation&#x27; only makes a lick of sense if you see &#x27;corporations&#x27; as one giant agent which rules society, and not merely businesses which survive via trade.
