The U.S. Justice Department this week dropped an antitrust case against a company represented by the lobbying firm that employed Pam Bondi before her confirmation as attorney general earlier this year.
American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) has paid the lobbying giant Ballard Partners hundreds of thousands of dollars this year to pressure Bondi’s Justice Department on “antitrust issues,” according to federal disclosures.
Of course corporations should not be able to lobby!
See, we can’t outcompete corporate money and dedication. We will always lose, when profit is more important than say global warming or clean water or affordable / free healthcare.
Capitalism is way better then any other system to create and improve what gets the most profit and it’s by definition without morale.
It should not be allowed to do that with lobbing against the well-being of the people. It only exists because of us.
What I’m trying to say is: that protection is bullshit
You surely see problems with “well-being” defined in law?
