Seventy-Three (73) Percent of Americans “Dissatisfied with Major Corporations” – Lessons for Affordable Housing and Manufactured Homeowners and Advocates

Mobile and Manufactured Home Living News (MHLivingNews) believes strongly in the virtue of giving credit to where it is due. We routinely source information from sources across the left-right divide. Among the resources that we spot-check is Zero Hedge, a generally – but not always – ‘right’ or conservative leaning source. In a report dated July 22, they quoted Mark Glennon of Wirepoints, who in turn cited normally left-leaning Gallup’s polling group.  Here is part of what Glennon wrote about the growing distrust in big businesses.

The driver … [for the] believer in free enterprise and the virtues of robust competition … is the huge majority of Americans who are now fed up with large corporations, particularly big tech platforms. Seventy-three percent say they are dissatisfied with major corporations, including 42% who are “deeply dissatisfied” with them, way up from earlier years. By numbers at least that largeAmericans say big tech must be reined in and, most importantly, they support breaking up Amazon, Google and Facebook.”

That’s a position touted for some years by MHLivingNews and our MHProNews sister site. We specified certain companies that merited such a breakup, illustrated in the image below.

 

 

 

What Glennon linked from Gallup is as shown below. Only 18 percent trust big business a great deal or quite a lot.  Only 1 percent had no opinion. The rest of the population, per the survey,  81 percent had little, some or no trust in big businesses.

Gallup said they posted their questions like this.

Now I am going to read you a list of institutions in American society. Please tell me how much confidence you, yourself, have in each one — a great deal, quite a lot, some or very little?

Note how for years that trust in smaller business far exceeds trust in major brands? Generally, trust in smaller business is over that of bigger businesses for some years. But it seems to be increasing as major brands are increasingly behaving in an nearly dictatorial or authoritarian fashion.

What makes the above heartwarming on several levels is this. It is not a survey of Democratic backers and/or Republican supporters, or even independent or minor party enthusiasts’ views. These are the views of Americans at large.

As this writer prepares to dot on the i of this report, make sure you keep in mind that their are solutions to these issues. It is in part what this survey itself suggested is on a growing number of American minds. Break up the big corporations.

All on Capitol Hill were welcoming and interested in the discussion of manufactured housing-related issues on our 12.3.2019 meetings. But Texas Congressman Al Green’s office was tremendous in their hospitality. Our son’s hand is on a package that included a copy of the Constitution of the United States and other goodies. MHProNews has worked with people and politicos across the left-right divide.
