In the US, one has to remember that megacorps usually end up winning, as people mostly only care about money and blindly supporting corporations is seen as pro-economy. There are also no limits on political financial contributions, and people have really short attention spans.

Politicians taking the superficial short-term win, as they will end up giving in to the megacorp anyway, is not surprising to me.

These clumsy stereotypes are so pointless.

It’s a broad statement but I wouldn’t say it’s an incorrect one.
