It’s called corruption

Yup.

The only weird thing is that Google gets so much for such a low lobbying bill: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/summary?cycle=2016&id=D000067823

Makes you wonder how much cash they’re shipping to legislators under the table.

I’m always disappointed how cheap our politicians really are. Like $5-10k is enough to get you to sell out your constituents? Yikes, dawg.

That we know of. I think it’s a bit more than that, but yeah, our politicians are cheap.
