It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

How much do you think automakers are bribing the GOP with? My guess is it's only like $10k each, I bet politicians are cheap af in Michigan.

Based on other reports of US bribery, it might not even be that much. Politicians seem to be on sale for shockingly little money sometimes, especially at the local level.

I bet you are right. They are surprisingly cheap everywhere.

$10k is way too much. Probably just couple thousand

Probably just a nice dinner party where they were able to feel fancy for the evening

I once had lunch with a guy who was formerly a lobbyist for Mizzou. He said it was easy af to bribe state politicians. A lot of times he would just give them season tickets to Mizzou games.

Imagine being a shithead AND a Mizzou fan. Lost a bunch of lotterys there...
