There is politics in the workplace. The boss's. The boss is one dude, sharing your country with you. Ergo, he's availing himself of a capital extraction machine to influence politics more than you can.

Two: Companies need leashes. If stockholders are all passive, and abdicating responsibility, that leaves workers as the only realistic option. Corollary 2a: the multinational destabilizes the political relationship between laborers of it's host nation's population, and their ability to leash corporate excess/shape policy by turning to immigrant labor to implement projects distasteful to the natives of the host country, but agreeable to the immigrants country of origin.

There's no way around any of this without separation of State and Corp. I.e. hard controls on financial engineering, lobbying, campaign finance, and multi-nationals, and worker immigration. Controversially, we may also need to consider corporations specifically bound from certain veins of activity similar to the government. To wit, corporate freedom of speech must be diluted. It should not be okay for Corp to sit on self-funded studies that indicate they are doing harm. These should be compelled to be released, coupled with obligations to actually continue doing such research. Corporations need to be restricted in their ability to establish through contract law widespread violation of worker's/customer's privacy. Finally, enforced legal firewalls on disclosure of business records/dissolution of Third Party Doctrine. It is downright unreasonable in this day and age of networks to assume that the actions of an intermediary by default to a presumption of the intermediated end points waiving Fourth Amendment protections.

All of this assumes we get the overall U.S.government functioning again, combined with a heavy denormalization of corruption. I won't hold my breath.

Dismissing anyone who disagrees with you, and can offer valuable negative feedback.
