Yes it’s hopeless, because media literacy experts are trying to teach us how to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. By making this an “us” problem, as “we” don’t do a good enough job educating, being educated, and being informed citizens, it masks the fact that politicians can take money from corporations at any time, for any reason.

I don’t know if this is helpful or not, but I try to write in a way where my gender, sexual preferences and status are far less highlighted than my views. I only say this as I regularly default something I read to a gender and race, and unless specified as something else (and therefore different from my assumptions), one’s identity is shielded.

Is that helpful at all?

If there is limited supply, and unlimited demand (foreign buyers, investment purchases), how can this ever get solved without banning both?
