Re: goverments stop being able to be controlled by corporations
Sirius Cybernetics Corporation would very much disagree with you.
Personally, I think that it won't be too long before Amazon makes a play to do exactly just that. They'd take on the US National debt and ... before long the only store/restaurant/outlet is owned and controlled by Amazon. You would be forbidden by law to have your own chickens, grow your own stuff and even pick wild fruits without a license from Amazon.
1984 in the eyes of Bezos didn't go anywhere near far enough.
