that produce legislation not 110% beholden to economic interest of corporations

France has a massive Fashion industry with Bernard Arnault competing for the richest person on the planet position.

I see... Always a dark side to all stories, eh?

I guess we can only hope that government get something right while they go on their normal business of being in corporation's pockets

Bernard Arnault is lobbying against this law, because his companies make a lot of money in the Asian market, especially in China, and he fears repercussions from the Chinese government and a tariff war.
