I don't think I ever said that passing this law was correct or that governments were free from bias. I just questioned whether it was a good idea to let markets make decisions and expect them to be optimal, or whether optimising for competitive advantage is inherently good.

I think it's similarly fair to question whether it is a good idea to let governments make decisions and expect them to be optimal, or whether optimizing for equity in outcome is inherently good.

Why do you think corporations aren't part of the government?

They certainly have huge influence over policy. IMO it's extremely superficial to believe that just because they're not part of the official party political process they're somehow not in a senior leadership role.

I agree.
