That’s probably a matter of perception on my part. In the US, I don’t see them that way. They still get called to the carpet by Congress and fined. Sometimes I think the fines are low enough they consider it just a cost of doing business.
I don’t think small nations have that same feeling, especially when dealing with a US based company, or a national customer base that’s large enough to make them feel it if they were lost.
Well, at least the EU is fighting on those fronts. Props to them.

They get yelled at by old men in procedures that typically make their interrogators look foolish at best, then are fined what amounts to a minor rounding error and change nothing. Because for the time being, congress and the donors that get congress elected benefit from the absurd profits being collected.

Right? All the fuckers yelling at them are 70-90 years old and don’t even understand the shit they are yelling at him about. They certainly understand how their portfolio is doing, though.
