We don't live in the world of the 1970s anymore, anything that might slow down or impede corporate profits can be rejected out of hand as feasible solution. It's just not even worth the time to talk about it.

At least until we have a new constitutional amendment getting money out of politics.

Yeah, but the things which create corporate profits change over time. Like that pedestrian bridge collapse in Florida, it was like 50 ft from a pedestrian road crossing. I dunno why anyone would pay for that particular type of uselessness. Moving slowly saves you time.
