Venn Diagrams showing the crossover in personnel between the heads of industry and the regulatory bodies that are supposed to limit them. This corruption is called regulatory capture.

It’s more discreet now which could be a good thing or a bad thing I suppose.

Ok so far I’ve found a lot of semi related stuff about trump and the EPA. However every article so far has been a hit piece and failed to explain how his actions promote regulatory capture; even though it’s in the headline.

One thing I’ve found that actually favors him however is he made it illegal to be a lobbyist while in his administration. It also bans people from lobbying after leaving the administration for five years. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/donald-trump-lobbying-ban-231534

Here is a piece suggesting that 25 officials were able to get away with not signing the pledge, claiming people are avoiding the ban by shadow lobbying, and making claims about one man registering as a lobbyist despite being ineligible. Keep in mind though it states that he will register not that he has. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.propublica.org/article/the-lobbying-swamp-is-flourishing-in-trumps-washington/amp

This fills in the gaps pretty well. It seems that the EPA being the thing that comes up the most is relevant. https://www.npr.org/2017/08/16/543876454/in-trumps-government-the-regulated-have-become-the-regulators

It does have a political lean but it doesn’t change facts. I would love to see one that shows the crossover during President Trumps administration. I’ll look into it.

The issue with this is that pandering for profits is exactly what is destroying this country. If we’re gonna change the country it starts with those who have power-corporations-have to stop being afraid of pissing of the consumer mob.

These people don’t care about being a healthy consumer. A small bottle of arrowhead water just went from 99 cents to $1.79. That’s almost double. Most consumers won’t notice and will continue to buy arrowhead. I however am now boycotting the company. Not for social points but because this is illegitimate business practice.

I’m also boycotting YouTube for censorship and passing on the Apple Tax(YouTube music) to consumers which increases the price of the service 33%. I’ve had enough with submitting to greedy corporations and am in the process of creating a website that exposes greed in the consumer market in order to organize boycotts for change.

Do these idiots know they aren’t genetically fit to be revolutionary? Imagine people like this leading the revolutionary war.

My issue with it is that there doesn’t seem to be any companies that aren’t scared of public backlash for speaking out against this nonsense. I’m fairly certain not even a majority of these companies actually support BLM. They are placing profits above rationality and contributing to the issue.

Didn’t their accounts get reinstated?

So filtering has been around for a good while now. I always thought it was a strange phenomenon but was never actually scared of it. The point where that changed was when I started to notice coworkers and friends with filtered pictures of their wives and girlfriends as their phone wallpapers. The fact that the image you keep as a reminder of the one you love is a filtered monstrosity that doesn’t even vaguely resemble what they actually look like; is a sign that we are entering a point where people’s delusions now transcend all thought forms.

Yeah they cracked. Put out a letter saying they support the movement and the ceo put out a personal message saying all her black friends are sick of being tired because they are oppressed.
