How's it lose-lose?
Companies can now get away with anything so long as they pay the president a bribe and publicly say "thank you for saving the world." The only way to lose is to not transparently do some easy butt-kissing. And most Americans love watching the corruption. It makes you a good team player.

But if you don't trust the President to write an EO that actually prevents you from being fined millions of dollars a day then you're just stuck with ambiguity of what you're allowed to do. Bad for business.

- forgotoldacc 2y agoThe difference between then and now is that the rich are richer than ever before and they can just buy an island thousands of miles away and continue to live a first world lifestyle, completely unaffected. Lower level workers aren't the ones paying bribes and nobody will care what happens to them.
