That is depressing, but also sounds like an opportunity. I’m willing to pitch in $50K if others want to start an impeachment fund and buy some senators!
Comment on The US government is coming for Google and Meta – but what will happen next?
thejml@lemm.ee 1 day agoIt’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.

During the net nuetrality days of 2016, I can remember a list being put out of every senator who voted in favor of dismantling net nuetrality.
And this list showed all known payoffs to each senator.
One senator was bribed $584 total by 4 different ISP giants.
