Are also the ones who control most of the economy. So, good luck stopping this without some serious restrictions.

Which these corporations will fight tooth and nail against. And, they have the resources to tie it up for decades.

What do we do then? Will we ever do what is necessary to stop this destruction, or will we keep trying to find a 'happy medium' in this issue? (SpoilerAlert: there is no happy medium in this matter. The damage is already pushing towards irreparable.)
