    It certainly goes some way to explain why lobbyists buy politicians for pennies in the grand scheme of things, but ultimately you’re saying the same thing with a different inflection.

      Sort of. It’s a mixed bag is what I’m saying. It’s just not as impactful as we all imagine it to be. Some politicians are very corrupt obviously. But it’s not this prevalent “corporations own congress” kinda thing.
