When you embrace profits above all else, when you allow money to be the altar at which your leaders worship, and you give corporations legal rights above human beings what did you expect??

It's not only that. It's got some riders tucked into it that aim to make state regulation of AI research/tech forbidden, AND it also has provisions that completely disrespect the Constitution - by attempting to limit or eliminate the powers of the Judiciary.
