(6,146 posts)I am cynical that this really accomplishes anywhere near enough
For one, it seems to me that the problem is coming from wealthy individuals more than the Companies.
Bezos, Musk and Ellison are 1000x the problem that Amazon, Tesla and Oracle are.
And one of the biggest problems with all of the funding is that it is dark so that we don't actually know who is donating.
The entire Dark-money, PAC system needs to go but I am not confident that it can be done. There is simply too much money in it. And many of the beneficiaries of that money would be needed for an honest conversation about how corrosive it is. I don't think we can expect the MSM, Social Media, internet, etc. to participate in the discussion fairly while that money funnels through them at an alarming pace.
