Banking, auto and pharmaceutical industries I can see lobbying their agendas as they're largely private. Are there significant privatized anti-drug agencies with capital (comparable to the 3 above)?
The US has a large conservative (often Christian) mindset that I think would reflexively fight this without thinking about it. Don't think it's necessary to jump straight into the conspiracy theories yet.

They aren't trying to advance that agenda already and don't have very strong incentives to push for it either. Or did i misunderstand?
- PeterisP 12y agoFor lobbying purposes, large unions (such as law enforcement) are just as effective as capital - both are simply means for obtaining votes.
