Toxic cynicism isn’t super healthy. Research some members of Congress to find the ones who are in it for the good of people. My senators from Oregon seem to really want to help. I’m a huge AOC fan
But I get it. Especially in election years, and especially in US since citizens United we see little prizes that maybe could have come sooner
Anytime FDA protects beef or milk interests, sure.
Some Supreme Court members are in it for the cash.
There’s tons of corruption, but the examples above were legitimate.
It’s also really hard to tell what your own members would do if they had full control of their chamber
Do you haveam an example?
I’ve only known about governments that exist to monopolize violence against people who try to harm corporations’ profits
do you mean just in the US? Or anywhere? The are SO many. More in the past than today. Europe just stopped Apple from using proprietary chargers.
In the US, any merger denial or monopoly breakup.
Union protections
FMLA
Any FDA chemicals restrictions
Clean Waters Act or any number of land use regulations
Basically anything an attorney general does
Book price fixing recently dismantled
Rent control
Bread crumbs to appease the plebeians to prevent a revolution. Zoom out. The government is there to protect corporate interests
