Though if I recall correctly, filibuster rule can be removed with 51% majority but obviously Democrats are too nice to remove that.

Like it or not, the United States are of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations.
Now I totally disagree with Republicans on almost everything especially since 2014 but one thing I like about them is, how to pass the actual laws, and how to put justices in supreme court.
No matter how wrong are they, or who paid (directly or indirectly) to pass the laws… when they have majority, they just steamrolls.
Democrats on the other hand are just talks.

The first thing that came to mind upon reading the title is the movie Repo Men from 2010.
Plot from the Wikipedia:
In 2025, advancements in medical technology have perfected bio-mechanical organs.
A corporation known as The Union sells these expensive “artiforgs” on credit, and when customers are unable or unwilling to pay for their artiforgs The Union sends “repo men” to locate and forcibly repossess the organ - invariably resulting in the death of the owner.
