This is a historical moment we are living in now. After Americans annoyed their elected reps, Congress and the Senate passed a historic law for the people. The law was intended to allow government employees, including those in Congress, the Senate, the White House, and any lower-level officials, to display on their clothing the names of individuals who pay them under the table.
You may be asking why they would all be inclined to vote for this, and do so with quite a happy vote. Well, of course, it’s to find out who gets paid off by which company to see if they can get a better deal from a different company! If one senator has Pfizer on their clothes and the other has a measly Barnes & Noble, the person who has Barnes & Noble will go and try to profit more like the senator who profited from Pfizer.
In turn, the American people win, too! Imagine seeing a congress member say that we need an injection and realizing they are advertising Moderna. Can you see the major benefits for both parties?
Government officials can earn more from “donations.” We can also see who is pushing laws just for extra pay.
It’s a win-win.
