    It’s almost like all of the big gigantic companies are in cahoots with one another and then one day…BOOM!..they bought all the governments.

      We could see back in the 1980s that corporations were becoming more powerful than governments. And that power imbalance has only continued to become more extreme since then.

        I saw it a lot further back in France, but they were called institutions back then, not corporations. A rose by any other name. It gives me hope that the sleeping giant (the citizenry) can only be pushed so far.
