Another part of the American mystique is that every politician is for sale via legal bribery where companies donate to their campaigns and get them to do mostly whatever the company wants, totally contrary to the interests of the public.
And somehow people trust those bribing companies more than the politicians?
They do, some folks.
The idea is companies, caring only about their own revenue, are purer of heart than politicians who are interested primarily in their own social status.
... that a kind of bulk morality emerges from many individuals all working to maximize a single product’s sales.
Some say "bulk morality", I say "immoral, unrelenting, greed". Not exactly a benevolent goal.
