I think the bigest obstruction to good governance is the bribes to our legislators in the form of campaign contributions. It corrupts everyone

I have been thinking about how big business - corporations, tech, pharma - have such a bad name and are blamed for so much. But lets actually think about this logically. Over the past half century many, many checks and regulations have been put on businesses of all kinds. For the quality of goods, t***h in marketing, safety, etc, etc, etc. And if companies can fulfill all of these requirements and still make money, good on them. I believe our problem in this country now is the c*********d and corrupt politicians (lawmakers) that hand out exceptions to rules already in place. That make it easy for manufacturers, for instance, to use cheap, overseas labor to manufacture their goods, but then avoid tariffs because they are "American owned". For a "free press" to be run by a few big companies, giving the illusion of choice but in reality being a monopoly of information. The same with tech, but making deals with the tech oligarchs to be government agents of propaganda and suppression of "wrongthink" in return for not being named monopolies and being broken up. For cooperating with big pharma to suppress information on health methods that bypass expensive drugs and treatments. ALL of this is on c*********d and corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. Which is why it is essential that people who make themselves "career politicians" need to be done away with, and lobbying outlawed. Our elected representatives need to be just that.
