>Also yeah, less political influence from companies is the way forward
It's amazing and infuriating - since antiquity in Greece every discussion of Democracy has involved the discussion of the importance of denying and stringently limiting moneyed/landed/rich/influential people direct access to decisions in (and thus inherently against) the Democracy.
For literally far over a thousand years.
And then come the 80s and come thatcher and reagan and suddently the narrative was shifted in tandem with media ghouls.
This is why public broadcasters are/were so important.
How to put the genie back in the box?
Well I am sure the oligarchs and industry-gnats and lobbyist-parasites won't be giving their power up without some kind of extra-institutional pushback.
