The companies hijacked the governmental regulatory bodies overseeing them so they can do anything they want... It's called Regulatory Capture

This "revolving door" between industry and regulation is illegal in many countries. But not in the US.

This is a huge reason we are in the situation with the mRNA "vaccines" we have now. They wouldn't be regulating something that's so untested if the FDA wasn't literally run by the same people who run the "vaccine" manufacturing companies.

Wasn’t there a Exxon mobile ceo on trumps team? Like Rex? Why isn’t he on here?

It's not a complete list, and it's a bit dated too. I'd love an updated list

Same. Thanks for sharing. It is a gold list.

Like the FCC and USPS. Mail service has gone to shit and they still haven't fired that guy.

Actually, I think it's the reverse. The government pushed for these people to be in charge of these companies, so the government could indirectly push for policies that would otherwise be considered unconstitutional.

Government can't legally prevent you from speaking?...Twitter enters the room...

Yeah perhaps it's a bit of both. But I think the corporate profit motive was driving 90% of the lobbying for the last 100 years that led to all these regulatory bodies being like they are.

It's a revolving door that works both ways. The government is the companies and the companies is the government.
