Could it be that several companies like for example Amazon, Netflix and Pfizer have direct access to freshly printed government money and their stocks (and most of the stock market) are only there to keep the impression of a free market. For me it would be logical because these companies influence society a lot and government could realize their agendas with them. This could also apply to whole economies like for example China buying whole industrial regions in developed countries and recourses in Africa. Am I far from the truth with my hypothesis?

Nah, it's not irrelevant to me. Also I chose a picture on purpose that it is not lust provoking and still catches attention at least in my opinion.

Should I keep going? The stock market is a scam

"the government" is a consortium of corporate interests, politicians are their employees and bureaucrats their servants, all highly corruptible. of course they give themselves money (through printing and contracts), crush competition (through taxes and regulations), and bend laws to their interest. the market is only "free" insofar as these organizations are fighting each other constantly and there are opportunities to capitalize on their competition and shared distrust

Thanks.
Do you know of incidents when inventions got stolen by big corporations? Or is it more or less safe to claim a patent? I have a few inventions that could be worth it but I rather live in a shed than have them taken away by powerful companies.

This is pretty much the case now. Maybe at one point these companies actually competed to get to where they are but after the last few decades everything's government driven
