Congress is hopelessly broken and corrupt. Both sides.
How to fix?
Any law under consideration by congress must first be submitted for a financial impact study.
Any industry/entity impacted by the law in a way that will garner either windfall profits or significant losses... is immediately banned from lobbying in any way related to that law. Further, members of congress are barred from trading in stocks from impacted companies, and MUST either divest any securities already held, or recuse themselves from voting on it.
Impacted entities can make informational presentations to congress. But that's it.

By way of #Introduction...
I tied a lifeline to the bird and jumped ship... washed up on the shores of an immense new world littered with Mastodons!
I've lurked for a week or so to figure my way around, and I'm liking it more each day!
Retired from a 40 yr career in IT, where I've pretty much done it all, raised 2 musicians, one to Oberlin and Yale, other to Juilliard, 20 yrs as caregiver to my deceased wife w/MS. Happily remarried and lovin' life! Huge fan of Border Collies and most dogs!
How do I stop all Blue Sky content from getting boosted or otherwise injected into my timeline?
