Investigate donations to those MO House members voting for this bullshit. Smells like Bayer Bribes, since this doesn’t benefit the citizens of MO at all.
Good idea.
Blaine Luetkemeyer, Ann Wagner, Emanuel Cleaver, Eric Burlison, and Jason Smith all took $100K+ from insurance corporations for their campaigns.
All republicans. Guess this is what owning the libs looks like.
There are no words how much I specifically hate Ann Wagner and Jason Smith. Two of the biggest shit stains in this state.
Try reading Blaine’s FB page and then imagine the only way to be rid of him was his retirement, and knowing he’ll likely be replaced with the same or worse.
Can’t wait to get my family back out of this shithole state. KC, StL, Columbia, and Springfield are ok but the rest of the state are loud and proud white trash MAGATS steadily voting to fuck over the population centers where all the atate funds come from.
This state is so bad the only way we see progress is with ballot initiatives where gerrymanderign can’t defeat the popular vote. And guess what the MO house and senate are working on right now. Yep, making ballot initiatives harder to pass.
Saint Louis has been held back as a city for decades because StL city is in StL county and is prone to the state legislature’s fuckery. Like when StL raised the minimum wage for the city. State blocked it because…they could.
The governmental structure of the City of St. Louis is unusual in the United States. Since 1876, St. Louis has been an independent city, meaning it is not part of any county. St. Louis operates as both a city and a county. St. Louis is the only city in Missouri which operates its own “county” offices. St. Louis is a home rule city, but it is not a home rule county, thus county functions and offices are subject to state restrictions on county governments.
How many took under $100k? It never ceases to amaze me how cheap government is to buy. Imagine how cheap it seems to the 1%.
They employ a lot of people in the St. Louis area. They bring a lot of high paying jobs to the area and the government likes that.
Not sure why you are being down-voted. It doesn’t have to be bribes that causes a person to vote some way. Just bringing a shitload of jobs to an area would cause a politician to vote a certain way. Because jobs makes voters happy, and happy voters would vote for that person again, so they stay in power.
heard it here first, boys! Causing cancer is now legitimate business practice, just gotta pay the right(wink) people
Monsanto spent decades knowingly murdering customers, spent millions hiding their murders, and to this day they won’t even accept responsibility for their murder spree - let alone show remorse.
People have suffered the agony of botched executions for far less than that. There are determined committers of genocide with lower body-counts than monsanto executives.
Remember folks, if you went around giving people cancer they’ll put you in jail. A corporation does it and at most a fine.
Thank God someone is finally looking out for the corporations!
Deny justice long enough, and people will get their own brand of justice in the worst way possible.
This is not advocating for violence against the people involved in the creation of this product, despite them murdering us through the economic system.
Just stating a fact of life.
How far off do you think we are from the people seeking their own justice? (Asking for a friend)
