      Yeah, a symptom of late stage capitalism that large companies no longer compete by improving their product or service, but by manipulating the regulatory environment and/or competition, through collusion, legal attacks, or acquisition. It’s much less risky of an investment for larger companies post-mass-consolidation.

          Not if you support and vote for your local Mandami. Theyre out there, just needing the right local conditions: create them. Get 3-5 friends and take over your local democratic organization

      I feel it is never about having the money or not rather that for them it is a moral issue that it’s preferable to spend money on fewer people (political lobbying campaign) rather than the same total amount or even sometimes less on the many.
