Phamaceutical lobbies peddling opiates caused the heroin problem, alcohol lobbies pushed the war or marijuana, bank lobbyists pushed for deregulation that caused the housing crash, the subsequent recession, and wage stagnation as well. The problem is they're trying to get money independent of whether they hurt society or not. This is the second demonstration in american history that unfettered capitalism naturally creates an environment that is anti-competitive and fundamentally an un-free market. As lovers of startups, and the innovation and disruption that they provide, we should be pushing for models that prevent corporations from seizing control of our government and pushing out the real innovators. The dreamers who hope to make a living making the world a better place instead of making a quick buck robbing society.
