In order to stop them, you’d need a large percentage of customers go out of their way to purchase policies from companies with the lowest advertising budgets.
Or we’d need to recognize incorporation as the social contract that it was supposed to be, and start demanding public benefits in exchange for the companies being granted those privileges.
Merely restricting advertising is thinking extremely small compared to what they owe us, but hey, might as well throw it on the list anyway.

Fascinating read. what would be the economical impact if this was to return as charters with limited power and duration?

More public funding, less corporate interference in our government’s processes. We might actually find that Congress and state legislators listen to their constituents instead of conflicting corporate interests.
