A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

no, I don't. They have far more complex structures. Just because you remove a CEO, does not mean the whole company will go away. How many CEOs have been fired and replaced? Plenty. These companies still remain though, corrupting everything around them.
I will say I'm the UK we still have a king that we couldn't physically overthrow although we could possibly remove them constitutionally if the democracy aligned in that direction. However we do still have amazon here.
I think the difference between UK and US for workers rights comes from how we treat lobbying differently.
Yeah, but the point is that corporations still exist and rule in most monarchies at this very moment. You would just be adding an extra layer of something to overthrow.
that's true too lol
How many monarchs have been replaced? Plenty. Just think of anchient Egypt.
