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
Umm
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
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
lol
No shitting between the hours of 12:00 am and 12:00 pm
But I prefer a democracy where speech is the true victor - not money
But it is
We vote
Votes on a regular citizen level doesn't matter
And lobbyists generally have interests that align with some part of the population
All I’m saying is that there are bigger problems rn to solve
Like why tf nothing is ever done in Washington
Some of those problems cannot be solved with lobbyists around
Like what tf do they even do
hm
They just sit and fight and then take a recess
