Your theme follows the that of the 2003 award winning documentary, “The Corporation” and the sequel film, The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel, that was released in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_(2003_film)

Neo liberal governments keep lowering corporate taxes to the point where there isn’t enough money to operate essential public services such as schools, hospitals water supply, sewage systems and health care etc. At that point governments have to turn to the corporations, the only ones rich enough to operate these essential services which they then do with gusto and at a profit.

These documentaries are available on You Tube and should be required study in the education system and governments and their agencies. Governments don’t have to operate everything but if they don’t they must have strong policies in place to prevent corporate capture where the regulators are just a rubber stamp for industry. The CDC is a highly conflicted organization. What about the public good?
