        And the best part about it is that the people getting bribes are the ones who get to decide if getting bribes is ok!

          Don’t worry. The country is going to start it’s death rattle in about a year when fascism takes over due to the wealthy prefering fascism over any semblence of socialism.

      Other than pure corruption, there’s a lot of issues with plain old tech illiteracy. Going to bat against a legal team specifically trained to talk circles around aging justices and politicians is a real losing formula. This was on full display during the Cambridge Analytica trial.
