Exactly.

I don't want to get all political, but the people pushing for this definition change are (usually) economic leftists that are naturally worried about the size and power of corporations. It's their default state. There's nothing wrong with that, but be upfront with your motives and don't mask empirical concern with political ideology.

These people would have broken up Walmart in the 90s and Sears in the 70s if they could, and look where both of those companies are now.
