Found another one in the news today: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/13/18223836/paid-line-standing-congress-ocasio-cortez-homelessness https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/13/18223836/p... A Senator introduced a bill in 2007 to ban line-standing, a bill that never ended up leaving committee. "The line-standing industry quickly rallied against the proposal. The owner of Linestanding.com submitted testimony that argued McCaskill’s bill would eliminate “an industry that employs hundreds of entry-level workers, and instead creating positions for even more lobbyists, the bill would have the opposite effect of that intended. It wouldn’t change the composition of who ultimately sat in hearing rooms; it would simply increase costs for all involved.”" So politicians stop the passage of a law to ban line-standing, and we're supposed to feel that it's the lobbyists' fault rather than that of the politicians who prevented the bills passage? I guess politicians can do whatever they want and receive no accountability for their voting because the media has decided that politicians are immune and the lobbyists will take all the heat.
