Florida state govt targeting Disney for punishment bc they don’t like the company’s public stance on an issue is another example of govt abuse.

Still, it’s pretty rare for overt abuses like the two examples I listed to happen here in this country.
There are many policies/laws/regulations/etc. in place and on official books. But are they being followed and abided by? Not so much. Look at all the fraud/scandals in-house at all levels since the history of ever. And these issues are a lot more common and more likely than not.
