    You'd think this sort of quid pro quo would already be illegal. https://boingboing.net/2019/03/26/democracys-labratories.html

    No, wait. We're talking about #pollies regulating themselves. Of course it is mostly not illegal.

      @lnxw48a1 The question is not whether or not this kind of thing happens.  We all know it does.  The question is what we the people, in our respective countries, can do to dismantle the apparatus that allows it to happen.

      This is one of the things that I see people constantly complain about but not an a lot of actual action to address.  There was a grassroots thing here in Ottawa where I live, which I was involved with for a short time, but a lot of the people there just wanted to complain about how bad of a problem this is, rather than do something to address it.
