Compliance is calculated with previous years costs
No, that’s just what you spent last year.
Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to.
It’s easy to see how much it costs. It’s very hard to determine exactly how much additional revenue any particular campaign creates.
They know what you’re worth
Pick anyone at the C-Level. How much revenue do they bring in? What’s the ROI of a CFO?

There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value.
Compliance, marketing, social outreach, branding.
Putting a $ amount on these and other similar roles is very difficult.
But I agree, if the value added is known to be zero or negative then usually no-one is paid to do it.
There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.
Not when they are set up, but they can become unprofitable over time, and get overlooked.

The word you want is oligopoly. It’s only a cartel if agreements are made between them (like opec)

Every job has a metric showing how much money every single task they do creates.
Management accountants would love to do this. In practise you can only do this for low level, commoditised roles.

submit it through the usual channels.
Here is the problem. These channels are heavily gatekeeped. Non standard theories are pushed to fringe publications and not read.

Yes, they are one hole away from a donut. If you include things like nostrils, ears and tear ducts then the internet says we have 7 holes.

They are sold at a loss, so you are technically stealing from Zuckerberg directly.

Totally agree. At the moment the Meta involvement is tolerable, but all it takes is a couple of forced ads or intrusive personal information demands.

- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 2 weeks ago:
Again. The DNC are campaigning for transparency. Not less money.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 2 weeks ago:
Captain, the goalpost is running away!
I’m consistently defending the statement that the Democrats (and the Republicans) DO NOT want to remove money from politics.
They may be arguing for more transparency, but they definitely are not asking for less lovely money. increase expenditure
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 2 weeks ago:
Democrats will also fight to strengthen public financing with small-dollar matching for all federal candidates
In addition to private contributions, they want tax money too. Additional lovey money.
ban all private financing from federal elections.
Hang on. What about the dollar matching. You can’t have both. Also, private financing is free to supply lovely money at all other times.
and crack down on foreign nationals who try to influence elections.
“Crack down” is not defined. Foreign donations to foundations like the Clinton’s are unlikely to be affected.
We will keep super PACs wholly independent of campaigns and parties
But they will still exist to funnel all that lovely money.
Democrats will end “dark money” by requiring full disclosure of contributors and ban 501©(4) organizations from spending on elections.
“Light” lovely money will still be accepted.
Democrats will prohibit corporate PACs and lobbyists from donating to anyone they lobby.
But corporate PACs will still be able to give the DNC lovey money.
The DNC is not trying to reduce the money they are receiving.

No no. Politicans still want all that lovely money.
The dems put forward the proposal on page 48 to say that they want transparency, because that fucks over the Republicans more than them.
