You know, hearing stories like this it makes me wonder if lobbying is really a good thing to do. It might be the case that when lobbying is done for any purpose, whether good or bad, moral or immoral, it really takes politicians' focus off the morality or effectiveness of whatever is being lobbied for and focuses them on how much money it makes them. That's probably also why most of the political decisions that are made tend to be very ineffective. I'm going to go ahead and share this on Gab.

Glad to see VA and other states are contributing to the global economy. At least the money isn't going to the Chicoms, or is it?
