- tomrod 5y agoAlmost certainly, imo. Were I a VC, part of my model to identify industries ripe for tech disruption would be to find those that get legislative sweetheart deals that don't benefit the taxpayer.

- elliekelly 5y agoUnrelated to the article but this is insane: > Statutes in Colorado, South Carolina, and Indiana exempt ALEC, specifically by name, from having to register as a lobbyist and report lobbying expenditures.
