"Putting corporate pardons on the table strengthens Trump's corrupt and authoritarian power over corporations," said Rick Claypool, research director for consumer advocacy group Public Citizen's president's office.
"This has the potential to trigger a lobbying frenzy for any corporation that has faced federal enforcement."

So that now every poor human sob in the country competes with multi-billion dollar corporations for fairness, justice, and equality under the Law.
And they lose every time.

Re-balancing their influence will require revolt, imo.
Not just at Tesla dealerships.
