Frank was pretty much always right

Isn't there an acceptable level of customer death?

For hospice care? Sure. . . .

Tobacco, auto industry...

I think they see the corporations as their customers,
and we're just the labor and collateral damage.

Or governments aren't businesses. :P

I hope you're not thinking that they
are more like organized crime. :o

I was thinking they're more like governments.

That sort of takes the fun out of analogizing.

Much of it, yes, according to former regulators.

Frank was always out to support just one thing, Frank. In this he makes the perfect spokesperson for the entrepreneur über alles movement.

As much as I like him, this is pretty much undeniable. All one has to do is look at how albums that he was a part of are marketed today to prove this. (Things that were originally released under the artist of The Mothers of Invention now listed as Frank Zappa / The Mothers of Invention, etc.)

Frank had never heard of Phillip Morris?

9 out of 10 doctors agree....

Watermelon in Easter Hay is one of Frank's prettiest songs.

[joshthevegan.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed. Joe's Garage is a masterpiece, and that is clearly they crowning jewel.

I'm not sure Frank. You can always kill them after you've maximally exploited them.

I have never really got into Frank's music, but I agree that he has some very quotable ideas.

I am of the (probably unrealistic) opinion that we need to take a break from the republican/democrat only parties and but an actual businessman in the White House. This person who would run the US like a business. (And no, not outsource us all to China) but try to try to get the debt under control and back to reasonable levels. There has to be a way to get some politically savvy businessman who would be willing to crack heads together and make the government work for We The People again.

If Frank had been a politician instead of a musician, I would probably have voted for him.

We could sell off the south to Mexico and get some chinese factories over here with legal exempt status. Sell off the population in to slavery for the factories and for rich people of other countries to buy as pets. The country would be rich!

The problem is that today killing business (workers + customers + infrastructures...) is the fastest and most profitable way to make money. So it's not that businesses are badly run, it's that business has become highly obsolescent in the hands of speculators.
