    Its always baffled me how corporations managed to bribe politicians but its legal because they use the term “lobbying” instead.

    Imagining murdering someone then saying nope thats not a crime, simply because you won’t call it a homicide, instead you keep labeling it something else.

    Or another example, i’m not allowed to “lobby” a police officer out of giving me a ticket, but a mining corporation can lobby away their environmental regulations.
