The corporations don't have to lobby the government anymore.

Summary

This quote suggests that corporations have amassed so much power and influence that they no longer need to lobby the government for favorable policies; rather, they themselves have become an integral part of the government. It implies that corporations have gained control over decision-making processes, legislation, and regulations, potentially leading to a merging of corporate and governmental interests. This perspective highlights concerns related to economic, political, and democratic systems where corporate influence appears to transcend traditional lobbying practices.
