Essentially large ass companies paying big bucks (aka, offering positions, deals, etc.) for political power.
Ok and what would you replace it with?
...
Now we’re getting somewhere
Nothing. Lobbying should not exist at all.
Nothing? So no government?
Of course there will be a government. But lobbying will not be a part of it.
You said "nothing"
Lol
Don't start this shit now, apple.-
But sure I can get aboard with that
But corruption denotes something secretive
It's a badly kept secret
At least everyone know who pays who for what
No it’s not
It’s very public
I reckon it as corruption, as in it corrupts the minds of whoever is making these bloody laws.
or whatever
But if that’s how you define corruption then sure we should remove lobbying
That’s not really how it works
Yeah, I define lobbying as part of a corrupt government.
But there is a bill rn that restricts former congressmen from lobbying
So there is progress
Shouldn't we switch to <#594595578709803028> ?
Not enough. Big companies can still fuck a country up if the Lobbying democratic type is allowed.
No this is welcoming
lol
@Daenc no dude when people are covertly paid for things they’re always found out
Y'all'r not welcoming you are talking about politics
Like a councilman in my town just got locked up for corruption
@applejuice we are a very welcoming group my dude
thats cool but there needs to be more of that
Big companies needs to not be able to lobby
And in lobbying there is equal pull from all sides
I bet my ass on that if I had enough money I could lobby the fuck out of shit to put in a law that says no shitting after hours
Congressmen are lobbied for and against guns, war in Syria, healthcare, etc
So they kinda choose what lobbyists they want
