I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation? (sh.itjust.works)

A lot of them are appointed former execs of the corporations they're supposed to regulate, and in America corporations are people so they can donate to PAC's and whatnot all in the light of day to influence policy making. There's no telling what happens when the lights are off. Thus, they are employed by these corporations gracious donations while at the same time placed in a position to make policy in government. Tail meet dog.

You think they're campaigning off of grandma's $5 donation?
