Are you aware that you are engaging in "politics"?

This is because costs and benefits are different in "kind" and
they  accrue to "different" individuals (e.g., profits for the
rich and cancer for the poor).  Those who make statements about
public policy are engaging in politics.

Would you prefer some sort of authoritarian technocracy for
government?  I would be very concerned about their values.

The real questions are:  What is the name of the political theory
 that allows "artificial people" (corporations) to kill "natural
  people" (your kids) in order to make profit (larger numbers)?
And does this political theory derive its philosophical premise
 from the teachings of our beloved John Locke or Adam Smith?
