Seems like the real problem is corporations and the solution would be to violently nationalize at the slightest hint of bad faith.

I don't think it's a good idea to have our infrastructure be used as a hostage.

nationalize at the slightest hint of bad faith.

That's a smart policy, from the economics perspective. But its pretty disastrous from the politics perspective.

Countries that try to nationalize their major productive assets regularly find themselves destabilized and regime changed in short order.
