The turnover rate of politicians turning into lobbyists the second they get out of office should be illegal. PERIOD. But lobbying should be illegal anyways. It's not like they are listening to charities....

Politicians, lawmakers, and law enforcers only care about securing power and profiting from their elected, appointed or hired positions. None of them want solutions. Solutions mean change and removing their ability to get rich and make their family rich from their positions and affiliations. • #usa #america #unitedstates #government #lobbyist #teamdl #bandaid #virus #merica #american #laws #politics #politicians #lawmakers https://www.instagram.com/p/CdKIMXoOsnm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We need to end lobbyism as we know it. Corporate bribery is the worst way to provide a human right like health care.

Sad that $800 million/year in bribes costs us $650 billion/year in savings.

When Science Becomes a Pawn in the Game of Agendas

Science is often seen as the beacon of truth and objectivity, a pure pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of humanity. But what happens when this noble quest is hijacked by those with ulterior motives?

Take a journey through history, and you’ll find numerous occasions where science was not just a tool for discovery but also a weapon wielded for political gain. From the tobacco industry’s infamous manipulation of health studies to the distortion of climate change data, the narrative of ‘scientific consensus’ has been strategically shaped and reshaped to fit the needs of the powerful.

It’s a tale as old as time: an organization funds a study, hoping the results will back their product or policy. When the science aligns with their interests, it’s paraded in front of the public and policymakers alike, a testament to the ‘rightness’ of their cause. But when the results are inconvenient, they’re dismissed, discredited, or worse, buried in the annals of forgotten research.

Tobacco Industry and Health Studies For decades, the tobacco industry funded research to cast doubt on the harmful effects of smoking. This campaign of misinformation aimed to delay regulatory and public health interventions. Notorious for manipulating scientific evidence, the industry created a narrative of uncertainty around smoking’s health risks, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Climate Change and Energy Corporations Energy corporations, particularly those in the fossil fuel sector, have been accused of promoting skepticism about climate change. Despite a consensus among climate scientists about the human impact on global warming, these companies have financed studies and campaigns to amplify uncertainty and hinder environmental regulation.

Political Agendas and Public Health In some cases, political entities have selectively used scientific data to push health-related policies. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, various governments and organizations were criticized for cherry-picking scientific findings to justify their approach to lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine rollouts, often ignoring the broader consensus or evolving nature of the science.

Biased Funding and Research Direction Politics can deeply influence the direction and quality of scientific research through funding agendas. When companies or political groups fund scientific studies, there is a risk that the research may be biased towards outcomes that support the funder’s products or policies.

The politicization of science is not just a betrayal of the scientific method; it’s a breach of public trust. It creates a world where facts are flexible, and truth is transactional. It’s a world where the question “What does the science say?” is less about empirical evidence and more about who’s funding the research.

So, what’s the takeaway? Be vigilant. Question the source. Understand the funding. And remember, true science doesn’t serve an agenda; it seeks to understand the world, irrespective of the implications.

Fartisan Folitics

An unfortunate consequence of our political system is that "this is such good policy that there's bipartisan support for it" and "this is such terrible policy that lobbyists have to buy politicians in both parties" are largely indistinguishable at the results level.

Disney is a Megalocorp in a capitalist society. It only cares about what makes them money at the time. If you want them to "Attempt" to be more inclusive for a few more years longer, then its imperative to make them lose money on picking up GOP lobbyists and not let the current brand of GOP take majority.

THIS WEEK, WASHINGTON’S top Israel lobby is rallying its supporters to go to Capitol Hill and falsely claim to lawmakers that people aren’t starving in Gaza and Israel isn’t blocking aid shipments, according to talking points obtained by the American Prospect.

Israel has led a brutal siege on Gaza since Oct. 7, when Hamas killed 1,139 Israelis and kidnapped more than 200. More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed, 2 million have been internally displaced, and hundreds of thousands are at imminent risk of famine, according to the United Nations.

The powerful lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, is working to maintain support for Israel’s war, amid increased protests and public outcry. This week, AIPAC convened in Maryland for its annual policy conference, which it uses to marshal its donors and supporters to serve as a grassroots lobbying army in the halls of Congress.

The Prospect obtained a copy of AIPAC’s talking points for supporters heading to the Hill — and they are extreme, to say the least. The documents instruct supporters to claim that ���reports that people are starving in Gaza are false,” and say that “Israel is not blocking the delivery of aid to Gaza.”

The AIPAC talking points additionally claim that Hamas wants people to believe Gazans are starving in order to “exert pressure” on Israel, and argues the “United States must not fall into Hamas’ trap.”

These claims from AIPAC are false. Gazans are starving on a massive, unprecedented scale. According to the United Nations, 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza — almost the entire population of the region — are facing “crisis or worse levels of food insecurity.” Half a million of those included in that figure face “catastrophic” levels of food insecurity.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) — a leading food security analysis and advocacy group — classifies the Gaza Strip as being in Phase 4 “Emergency” status food insecurity, with a high risk of imminent famine conditions.

Capitalism kills. Lobbyists kill.

Using DEI and 'woke' to describe decades of short-sighted and greedy capitalism is perverse.

Lobbyism is bribery.
