      We have long passed the point where lobbying and bribing were just doing your fiduciary duty.

      And indeed, it seems we are back to feudalism and you have to pay tribute to the divine king and kiss his ring.

      Lobbying isn’t inherently bad. There are legitimate issues for lobbying, we just have decided corporations are people, and that take precedent over people’s lives now apparently.
