I hate how corporate lobbying is described as "government action", as if the government here is the actor and not the condom.

- soerxpso 2y agoThe government is the actor. Do you think that corporate lobbying gives corporations the right to write their own laws, or something? Lobbying is paying someone to speak to a government representative. Every government representative has the full authority to respond, "No? That's stupid," and if they respond any other way they should be the one held accountable for it.
