37. Where to begin

Businesses have always bought the law and the lawmakers, this has been standard operating procedure in every civilisation and government for which we have sufficient records. It is the other "Golden Rule" - whoever has the gold makes the rules - and democracy or its near imitators only slow down this process occasionally. The wealthy even use nonsense such as you are spouting to divert attention from their weakly concealed activities; Birtherism was fostered by corporations to weaken Obama and ceased when they realised he was just another politician, maybe a bit more honest but still a politician.

You never ask yourself why business needs to conceal their activities behind such elaborate and self defeating schemes. Most people are not in the least interested in the lawbreaking and rampant profiteering in the normal course of events, just so long as the comfortable poverty in which they are ensconced remains comfortable. This loss of status and comfort was the driver behind the #Occupy movement and as soon as that comfort is restored the bulk of the occupiers will (have) vanish(ed). There is one other thing that can stir up controversy and that is another businesses engaging in corporate warfare by driving protest movements.

Yes, I am a cynic ...
