    When the CEOs of these companies are saying that we will risk extinction and jobs will be decimated, why do you even need a "foreign agent"?

      Because nobody in charge is sane and sober.

        They are sane, they are just extracting as much value out of you as possible.

          What is sane about that, if they already own more than they could ever reasonably spend for their enjoyment?

            Same thing that is sane about a paperclip optimiser making paperclips, or a mammal improving its sexual attractiveness
