They are among the top five richest corporations in the world and the leading employer in the world, last I checked. You going to dissolve that power? No? They have money and power, they will make the rules. You have to either find a way to dissolve them (good luck with that!), or you have to have another big power structure to keep them in check. That's how it works.

This power structure is based on faith and agreement. Its more fragile and fractious than you think.

And what the fuck are you smoking if you think the government is opposed to corps? Can I have some?
