Well money is the only way lobbying can be done really

i should clarify

Would we lobby with vbucks

lobbying is money, the fuck are you on about?

money shouldnt be going to the politicians from companies.

Why not?

if you mean just politically oriented gatherings of like minded people that's already guaranteed by the constitution

if private individuals want to donate up to a certain amount thats all kosher

and if companies want to hire people to go to political gatherings to talk to politicians about why they should and shouldnt do x x and x then honestly thats good too

most politicians dont know fuck all about how most of those companies operate

someone's not familiar with the revolving door

my issue is with revolving door politics and large companies giving large sums of money to to politicians

no i am thats my issue

people shouldnt be hired from one to the other and vice versa

then you understand a fair amount of politicians know exactly how corporations operate because most of them were former employees

also term limits pls

and a lot of them dont; ive been in actual lobbying meetings before

so many of them are clueless about how many firms operate

especially tech firms

sounds like this wasn't in an east coast state

It's funny how people end up in Congress that own stocks in the companies they are in oversight of

it was in Cali

nailed it

i live east coast tho

company has an office in SF

That's what makes America Great though. It allows for us to be in a constant struggle against the corrupt, against the tyrannical.

At the same time I'm torn because of the mysery it makes

Not getting openly shot in the streets by private security for having a picket line is rather nice

Yeah

But is it though?

Well fuck, you got me there

though I'd feel safer around an armed guard employed by monsanto than one of those fucking Georgian church holy police that they get to have now because "fuck it, no one's watching the mid west right now"

at least I think it was Georgia

Wowza

might have been Mississippi

At least if you have a can of bug spray monsanto will keep you safe

*He's a consumer let him in*

lol

Oh god damn it it was Alabama
