    Doesn’t matter unless you stop the ‘deals’ for high paying cushy jobs after leaving the public sector once you’ve destroyed whatever a company wants gone.

      It is a marathon not a sprint, every step counts. Just because this isn’t already perfect doesn’t mean that it is unimportant.

    Call me skeptical or jaded or what have you, but I think if you ban political donations that are transparent in the public square, you’re only going to get more bribes and greased palms.

    Kind of like how a prohibition on alcohol or drugs or gambling results in more organized crime. I fear it’s a part of the human condition.

    Instead, I’d much rather see a public blockchain, where donations could be tracked and reported, and have laws against the donations that are placed in secret.
