Opinion Lawrence Lessig on JRE. The only problem we should be talking about

[Quipling]

I've heard it repeatedly mentioned in the media as the cornerstone of the Democrat platform when the new Representatives are sworn in for the House.

I've noticed that "nobody is talking about this" is a frequent talking point to boost an issue, and one that is made independently of whether anyone is talking about it.

Conversely the ever popular, everyone is talking about this or I’ve heard from many people.

Money in politics is a greater threat to this nation than communism, fascism, Climate change, the rise of the machines, HC costs, our deficit, ect.
..

I would like to see a real world example where money and politics are not on some level co-mingled. it seems elemental.

Mick doesn't see the fossil fuel industry creating any political obstructions to the US addressing climate change and implementing correctives. The same way the NRA has no effect on gun law legislation.

True. At that level money and power seem interchangable.

What a bullshit socialist Berniebot delusion/lie.

Well sunshine, waiting to be proven wrong, since what, 1995?

What are we now, almost 25 years of hearing we should do something about climate change?

We should probably do something about defense spending too huh?

That has been true for what 70 years now?

If you think the system is working, I would like to know what system you are looking at.
