What this equates to is, whoever had more money than you can take away your home. Previously, it was just the occasional men-with-guns that could do this, but now they effectively have proxies everywhere.
It just makes formal (and official) what has existed for a long time. The guy with the most money can do whatever the fuck s/he wants to, with no regard to any rule of law or social responsibility, and there isn't anyone who wants to change that. After all, if we really wanted to change it, it wouldn't be just four or five cpunks bitching on a now obsolete mailing list - it would be citizens with guns storming the halls of congresscritters. -- Yours, J.A.
