Boy, American politicians sure are cheap.
Too expensive for ordinary people to buy, but pocket change for billionaires and major corporations.
It's a problem.
That’s always one of the most shocking part of bribery scandals to me. Politicians get caught taking bribes to do something awful and it’s like $6,500. Can’t even get a used Camry for that these days.
Follow the $$$.
Rule 6 says no advocating violence, but honestly how do you respond to people who are literally killing the planet and everyone on it? This is about survival.
The actions needed to solve this problem are also against the law.
Sometimes, rules must be broken for the greater good.
Make bribery illegal
They can do violence to you but don't you even dare think about violence to them. The rule is bad.
Regulatory capture can be yours for some low low payments of 599.99 for just a few months.
Lol what a title....
"Money money money money, bribes, money, bribes. Why this happen!?"
This is not surprising at all whatsoever. These companies want to use the Republican controlled courts to de-fang the Clean Air Act and gut the EPA so their rich donors can continue to dump chemicals and pollute without millions of dollars in fines.
This has been the Republican and Corporate Democrats long term strategy for decades. The Republicans are just not hiding it anymore.
Poisoning the Air is PRO LIFE! Isn't that right OHIO?
Of course they are. SCOTUS ruled Congress and the political parties were for up for sale fourteen years ago with Citizens United and SpeechNow decisions.
Unless that condition changes neither will this trajectory.
Munny
~~Kickbacks~~ ~~bribes~~ campaign donations.
It's disgusting how cheap these whores are.
