My apologies. I'm in a shitty mood. It's stupidly difficult being me sometimes. I think they're going to indict Trump, he's going to be convicted on something tiny, become ineligible to run for the presidency, and then they're going to legalize weed. It's what I'd do.
I agree I just think they optimal point of that is almost in power but not quite powerful enough to be accountable . That’s the maximum cash extraction points for them. If they were fully in power the base would expect laws to get passed and things to further their interests. In this stalemate they can ask for more money because they are so close, but then deliver nothing in return.
That reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the market, though. The money is made by spending some time legislating, developing some name recognition, and then pivot into lobbying. Donations as a candidate have to be begged for every goddamn day. Donations as a lobbyist are invoiced. It's substantially easier. At a fundamental level, the guys who don't pivot into lobbying are there because they like the feeling of power, and the feeling of power is substantially diluted by failure.
the year I started a cult If I needed and wanted the attention of my fellow man a whole helluva lot more I'd fuckin' rawk at that shit.
