One might think that corporations as a general rule would despise rules and regulations, as an interference to their domain, and especially those so generated by the government in order to protect consumers with robust consumer laws, or laws written thereby so as to promote corporate fairness, to thereby help level the playing field so that businesses do not subsequently become monopolistic in structure, all in effect, to punish corporations that end up providing, inadvertently or not, products and services which are ultimately harmful or unfair to that society. In fact, the above is a general truth; yet, what has occurred in this modern age with all sorts of rules, regulations, and laws that have come into existence through legislative acts, is that, more times than not, those corporations are the hidden hand that guides the very rules, regulations, and laws so enacted.
That is to say, some of the most powerful and biggest corporations, make it their point to see that rules, regulations, and laws are specifically written as a way to not put shackles upon their business; but rather, instead, to place barriers upon all those other would-be competitors or start-ups that somehow have the gumption to want to compete on some sort of level playing field with them; in addition, to thereby also creating legislation that highly favors the biggest industry players when it comes to any sort of product litigation. In other words, corporations are delighted to work under rules and regulations, when those rules and regulations are either heavily influenced by that particular corporation, or in actual fact, written by them.
So then, the public is deceived in their credulous belief when the rules and regulations that have been put into place by their legislative representatives, ostensibly to serve their interests, has often instead been co-opted by specific corporations so that these corporations are effectively thereby able to strangle those other companies that are attempting to compete against them. Further, these corporations make it their point to see that litigation, such as it comes, is heavily skewed to favor those deep pocket corporations, at the expense of all those little people that somehow have the gall to actually oppose them and thereby to seek justice in a court of law.
This thus means, that the very instruments that have been created by legislatures as a necessary means to assure the general public that there are controls in place, to protect the people, the environment, and their pocketbook, from all the various forms of corporate malfeasance and misbehavior, is often ineffective in what it has set out to do; basically because the most influential corporations have taken virtual control of the narrative, and have thereby declawed and defanged that which was meant to have the attacking power to confront and to thereby effectively regulate them.
The bottom line is that when the most powerful and biggest corporations get their way, they often become blinded to any sort of social duty that they owe to that society which has permitted their artificial and privileged creation in the first place. Instead, in their relentless pursuit of profit, above all, they often become predators and exploiters which primarily provide an enormous benefit to those that are the corporate chieftains as well as to the most influential financiers behind them, all at the expense of fairness, justice and the people.
