There is so much regulatory capture here. These companies might as well be government bureaus. And we know they are in bed with the NSA (not their fault, they are forced to be).<p>If somebody is screwing somebody with regulation, it might as well be that the public screws the shareholders, not the shareholders screwing the public (as it currently is).<p>edit: After further consideration, maybe I should just buy stock in these companies. If somebody's screwing someone, I guess it's preferable to be on top.<p>Though in the long run I think I lose either way because political influence-peddling is so destructive to the market and society we all live in.
