    We’re eventually going to lose this fight. The ability for a group of corporations to lobby is inexhaustible. We can only resist for so long, so many generations. Eventually, they win.

      I disagree. They continue to invest in unstable businesses and risky economies. Bitcoin, video streaming, social media; really the entire tech sector.

      As long as we continue to live, they will lose eventually.

        I mean, I don’t think that view is backed up by the previous 400 years of human history. I think they’ve effectively been able to capture the levers of society, the ability to lobby and manage government being a very material one. I think ‘the people’ are about a decade or less of being completely boxed out of having any meaningful influence on government, if not there already.
