      Only if you cede too much power to corporations.

      You’re acting like just because that’s the way it IS, that’s also the way it MUST BE. Power can and should reside with the people. If corporations Obstruct that, they should be set aside. If they bribe politicians, those politicians should be removed. These are all solvable problems, but that’s more difficult than sitting back and crying “we’re doomed, abandon all hope”.
