@sirobsidian what? In some countries it seems that governments are only there to keep corporation alive.
Isn't that just as bad?

@Anachron We're somewhat close to the point where Apple, Microsoft and Google could wrestle governments if they wanted to due to the power they hold, right now they can already assert their will to some of the smaller nations.

@sirobsidian IMO they already do. If you have so much money that you can keep goverments busy with paperwork for years while you work on a fix, isn't that already abusing the system and asserting power?

@Anachron We're definitely not yet to the point of Cyberpunk where the government is completely useless though, the EU for example has considerable strength over corporations.
