    Yup, or the Apple play which is just walk right around these regulations with some additional tricky bullshit while outwardly ‘supporting’ RtR. If I was a lawmaker I would be so fucking livid about this circumvention I would come back even harder but I guess I don’t know a lot about that process.

      Forgot something if you were a lawmaker you probably had so much money from those company that you would not care.

      The goal here always been to make it look like they do something usefull not actually do it.

        It’s supremely disappointing, looking up campaign contributions, how little money is required to influence our politicians.

          Yeah at least make the corruption worth it but it’s hard to up the price when the guy next to you would take a trip to Delaware to vote the way they want
