The people doing the bulk of the corruption here in the US just decided to stop even trying to hide it. Why would they hide it at this point? They aren't even worried about the optics anymore, they are sending a clear message imo. There's like a handful of people in high positions who aren't corrupt, and all of the ire is aimed at low level employees. I wish I could say that I didn't know why, but it is pretty clear. Even then, it seems like this headline is a little sensationalist. But optically, not good. Even then, this is something that everyone should be aware of. It is easy to jump to conclusions, but we should also do our due diligence here to verify these connections. This can end similar to how Bernie Sanders was painted as a health industry "shill" when in reality it was just the way political donations are categorized. Nurses and such had donated X amount of dollars to his campaign and that was twisted as him taking money from "the healthcare lobby" when in reality he is basically one of the 3 people in government who don't accept super pac and lobbying money, proving that you can indeed survive off of grassroots donations. So we have to be careful here. Optics is not enough to make a conclusion, and people will try to use that against you.
