| Corporate lobby should be treated as bribing the politicians. In ideal world (where we don't live), some of the primary goals of corporations and governments contradict to each other (and there is another body): * Corporations - maximum profit at all cost to its shareholders * Government (I mean the ideal one) - prosperity for its citizens * UN - prosperity for the world (because governments can achieve prosperity for own citizens by exploiting other government citizens) When they have contradictory goals, lower in the chain should not drastically impact the higher body's goals. Corporate lobby is doing it, hence US is moving towards feudal system. Because corporations wants to exploit people at maximum speed and squeeze everything, but do not want to take the responsibility for nurturing the people. Here is how it looks like: * You hire Sr eng, squeeze max out of them, lay them off
* Demand government to have better education, so it can squeeze out next
* Stop unionization at all costs
* now we are seeing this with Junior positions, no one wants to nurture and grow them, everyone wants Sr+ engineers
