    enforcement of existing consumer protection and anti-monopoly laws would do wonders(or tax, wage and hour, vehicle and many others). We actually have some pretty decent laws, they have either been deliberately underfunded, avoided per lobby or overruled by appointed activist judges.

    Pretty much the only way out is fire and force it seems, as history shows.

      Yep, I remember growing up some application of those laws or at least a facade. RICO exists for a reason lol. But I guess since corporations have become so bored with their hoard of gold and following some rules they’ve decided to take the painful route of learning, again
