Dunno how you can see the problem of massive corporate consolidation and yet miss the entire mark so badly.

The regulatory toothlessness of the government means that the businesses can de facto write their own laws.

Same thing is happening in healthcare with the takeover there by a few religiously affiliated corporations, which will affect everyone's choices about their own healthcare.

We've been screaming about how the government is horrible since Reagan in the 1980s and we're on the cusp of really bearing the fruits of that decades long shift of power to completely unaccountable corporations.

But yeah, its the government which is still obviously the problem.
