At least with a lot of things.
Consequently we have a large number of corporations that are trying to make us give them more money regardless of the harm it may do to ourselves. there are a few out there trying to make an honest buck, but almost any entity of size is probably going to have some skeletons in its closet. it's shortsighted to think that only the CEOs and such getting caught are the one's doing any wrong.

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
Well fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Well fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it."
Whatever Henry uses to fix the bucket, we can use to fix the differences between us. IIRC, it was a stick.
