To be fair, the original post is coming from an AdmiralAsshat.

What can anyone do? This corporate free-for-all seems like it's established (de-facto) in the United States, and all countries must bow to the US because of their military might.

We pollute, consume, lie, steal and cheat each other like it's normal practice. Where did we go wrong.

Closed source. It's a choice.

To be fair, some (most?) of the advances wouldn't have been possible without economic competition between manufactors, but closed source/closed design/closed production is bound to produce result like these. So, i don't know... Tradeoffs?

In this case it really isn't and that is a huge problem.
