> Just legislate against the abuses

which is never going to happen, because lobbying has overtaken the democratic process, and legislations no longer seem to be about protecting the consumer.

Then there's nothing more to discuss and everyone is doomed to obey the robber barons. A country that can't create laws doesn't care about the will of the majority.

There are many countries that can still legislate, and in fact have created many consumer protection laws like the ones I mentioned.
