You’re right. It’s almost like we could benefit from some sort of…consumer financial protection bureau.
Joking aside, this is a hard problem to solve with multinational corporations running the show. I certainly don’t think we sufficiently regulate corps in the states, quite the opposite really - they buy politicians in a legalized bribery scheme we call “campaign finance donations,” and are never held accountable for this type of predatory behavior.
This problem is 10x worse on an international scale, no idea how to solve for it. Maybe something like the TPP could have helped but not sure.
