7.2 million is literally pocket change for these people, they don’t even know it’s gone. Politicians are so cheap. I heard somewhere you can have a governor for like 50k. Maybe we should do a bribe lobby crowdfunding?

silence7,

It would be straightforward to have a group fundraiser, where people as a group each make a political contribution in exchange for attendance at a zoom event. What you can’t do is give money to another person to give to to a politician — that’s a felony.

Fiivemacs,

Even if you could, they would take citizens money then take the double sized offer from companies and ignore citizens anyways.

The planet will die and these people will still be worrying about stock price.

Man, we are cheap as a civilization, aren’t we.

lettruthout,

Maybe we shouldn’t fight it any more. Maybe we should just keep upping the price so much that it would no longer be economically viable for bribe lobby our politicians. Would they keep up their polluting ways if the price was $72M? How about $720M?

snekerpimp,

It has to be more than the corporations are able to make in a year, otherwise, it’s just “cost of doing business”
