But the weird thing to me is that people blame the government rather than corporations, as if leaving the latter alone, de-regulating the spaces in which they operate, will somehow lead to a better outcome. That's logically absurd. Corporations must be regulated by the government. The challenge for "the people" is ensuring they're not wooed by corporate interests to the point that they let the government be captured by them.
But we're long, long past that point in the United States. Our challenge wrestling back public power from private actors.
I think we are coming at the same problem from different angles. Which is fine. I just describe the same problem differently.
