CMV: Governments no longer have the power they used to over companies.

I believe governments no longer have the power they used to over companies. 

Some companies have near bottomless resources and hold monopolies across various sectors and nations. I will refer to these companies as super companies.

Super companies can no longer be controlled by the government. Only hindered. A super company can hire experts to legally find ways around legislation and laws. As well as legally avoid tax. Sometimes even evading tax through global schemes.

Not only can governments not control super companies. Super companies now hold leverage of governments. They have more resources and power than most governments. They lobby and influence political candidates. They often hold upper hands in negotiations with public sector. 

Super companies hold more power over workers than the government holds over them. In negotiating contracts and setting job requirements. To sacking employees and imposing working conditions and environments. 

Super companies can not be held accountable to the law. The government simply doesn't have enough resources to hold all companies accountable. The government can set examples on some companies but they can't regulate and govern every company they don't have the resources.

That doesn't mean the government has less power over companies, it means they're writing poorly worded laws

>They have more resources and power than most governments. 

Speaking as someone in the US, The US budget is around 4T a year. 

Amazon's 2018 revenue was 280B. The government is still 14x larger than Amazon, which is one of the highest revenue earners in the US. The company does not have more power or resources than the company. 

At the end of the day, the government could pass a law and come down and stop Amazon. They could freeze their assets. Without their money they're going to quickly collapse. Amazon can not do this to the US government, so I'd argue the US government still has far more power than the company.
