This is literally the path that capitalism laid out. Either you're for or against the system. Capitalism's end game was not to be counted a citizen but to become the oligarchy. Congress has a lot of power but only what the people give them, well the people have lost most of their voice/power so now congress is fueled by the power that money can buy from the companies that fund them. Thus it is we've entered late-stage capitalism. The federal government won't ever do anything about it as long as they're allowed to control congress by the wallet. Short-term as myself a libertarian-socialist I see this as a positive - because the alternative is lots of death from climate change... Long-term as a libertarian-socialist, I see this as a scary power grab by corporations. In some movies/shows/books you see companies that govern and have whole worlds and solar systems named after them. When you take away regulations, when you move to allow companies total freedom to do whatever you want you have to be willing to take the consequences of whatever those freedoms bring, whether that's polluting the water supply or encouraging MLB to pull out of Georgia over voter rights. You can't have your cake and eat it too!
