Yes, this idea of neoliberalism and free market reforms has meant corporations getting more government involvement in the economy. Eliminating market barriers to promote competition is mythical, it has been the opposite - most industries are oligopolies. Look at the 40 billion that Congress just pushed to give to US military contractors en route of some of the output to Ukraine (supported by the Squad, opposed by some Trump friendly Republicans). This has been modus operandi of US pumping taxpayer money into corporations since World War II. Biden had diplomats go to Venezuela to get oil and pull back Monroe Doctrine US military operations down there as its shifting military operations from around Venezuela to the western border of Russia.
