  1. The real problem I find, especially in the US is that governments push quite hard for big corporations to form, merge and so on with little help for small to medium size business and I suspect US governments do that because bigger corporations are more effective on the world stage at dominating, the problem is that small to medium size companies are the ones that are likely to give consumers more choice and likely to listen to us more. What's really needed is a big slashing of big companies, cutting them into smaller companies but I highly doubt that will happen in the US unless the public rises, now the EU and EU countries on the other hand, I'm more hopeful for them, Europeans are much more social in putting people first before other things and with everything that is going on with this virus now, some big changes could be coming. This is also the same with democracy, I look at the US and there seems to be very little choice in who you can vote for, it's always the Democrats or Republicans and that isn't much choice when it comes to a democracy, especially when a lot of the views from the two are not really that different from each other, contrast that with European countries like Germany and there is a lot of choice for people to pick. The system is broken in so many ways that it isn't going to get fixed unless the people wake up, rise to it and pressure governments to change and represent their interest, that in the US seems unlikely but as I said above, I'm hopeful for EU countries as we are seeing massive differences in policies in how EU countries and the US treat big corporations and the public, in Europe, they seem to be doing a far better job at looking after the poor and middle classes whiles protecting jobs whereas in the US they seem to be giving massive bail-outs to any big corporation that want it whiles giving crumbs to the public and it will be interesting to see unemployment numbers over the next 6 months to a year in EU countries compared to the US.
