> Why? Is it American exceptionalism
Because our government is completely corrupt and doesn't represent the interests of the People, at all. It serves and is beholden to large corporate interests, chief among them banks and financial institutions. In a just system that represented our interests Equifax would be forbidden from compiling consumer data after what they did.
- seniorThrowaway 4y agoExactly, and the best part is it is all out in the open but the majority of people either don't understand or don't care. The corporations openly write legislation via their lobbyists, huge bills that congress themselves don't even fully read let alone write. I've just about given up hope that this will ever change.
