$9M in the context of the economic impact of these price controls is peanuts.

  It's a small price to pay to subvert the democratic process to your advantage.

    What was subversive about spending money to get ads run arguing on a live policy question?
    • kristianp 3y ago
      It's not the ads, it's giving money to political parties in return for influence.
      • twoodfin 3y ago
        Sorry, where did that happen?

          They’re called political donations. Do companies donate to PACs just for of charity? No. They do it to influence policy for greater profits.
          • twoodfin 3y ago
            The donations go to ads. I’m confused what you’re objecting to.
            • nielsbot 3y ago
              I’m objecting to people buying ads. Ads = influence. Because “hey if you don’t want to play ball, we’ll happily fund ads for your opponent” (see, for example, AIPAC)
