I am still trying to decide whether corporations are an extension of the
government, or the government is just a big corporation itself. Or a bit of
both.

A lot of private industry in Spain has the government as their sole customer.
It is hard to argue that a private infrastructure firm is independent when they
get all their money from the government and do what the government says when
the government says.

I remember talking to a worker and asking him who was his employer. He told me:
"The government. Well, actually ACS, but that is the government, right?"
