I hear you. All of that is a big deal and should not be taken lighten. Maybe I'm a bit jaded by what I've seen, but that doesn't seem too far off from normal American business culture. Deflection and manipulation seem to be par for the course. It's why lobbyist exist. Companies want permission to do/not do the things they're not currently allowed/required to do. The ones that get caught are normally a few bad actors that whistle blow. The companies where it's ingrained in their culture get away with it. Of course...this is all my own experience :)
