      I wish, but that would shutter the doors of Amazon, Walmart, and most clothing stores. I don’t see the US government putting principles over maintaining the largest consumer goods corporations in the nation.

      That would require increasing government regulations on the major companies in the world; the owner-class would not allow that to happen; that would cut into their profits too much.

      There is a reason lobbying is ‘legal’.

      The Green New Deal was created by the Green Party, then watered down for a Democrat version.

      The duopoly is bought by these corporations.
