Would this idea be possible? I mean obviously it would cost a lot of money and time, but is it possible to have a company make every kind of product on the market: utilities, services, cars, food, clothes, computers, electronics, furniture, etc. and employ tons of people? Is it feasible or would it just turn into a communist country? Would there be enough people buying the products to support it? If everyone works there, wouldn't it just go broke, or would it make a ton of money?

Would it go broke if over 80% of the usa workforce was employed by it? There would also be a lot of worker benefits which would include insurance and daycare (which wouldn't cost the company much since its already part of it)

Monopoly sounds right, that was the word I was looking for. If it were a government, there are other governments in the world. Basically my idea is a megafactory in america that doesn't outsource jobs and treats workers right. Would people support it and american jobs or just buy something made in china for a lower price? That seems to be the downfall of this society already.

Walmart is a company that buys products made in china and sells them to Americans out of work because their jobs have been moved to china. Not quite the same idea I am portraying here. This would make jobs that pay decent wages, it is not based on "increasing our bottom line" and probably wouldn't be publicly traded due to that.

Its called a monopoly, the government wont let it happen. But, I always wondered the same thing. ACME, like in the cartoons, makes everything... Sounds like a good idea... Economicaly, I think it would work just fine, except since its a monopoly, they can charge whatever they want for goods and services...

they call it government, and if there is a real strong CEO, they call it dictatorship.
