corruption does not grow on trees
it is man made.
even worse – the selfie-generation does not care about politics or vote – they don’t even care that they don’t care. making it even easier / cheaper for lobby firms and companies to “rule them all”.
Europe:
in the (not so) united states of europe… the situation is similar to the US and the US situation is similar to Rome at the end of it’s empire.
as soon as somebody starts to play unfair – the others will join.
Google’s EU lobby expenditure was far more modest when it first joined the lobby register in March 2011. LobbyFacts’ archive facility (available on Google’s datacard) reveals that, in 2011, its declared annual lobby spend was €600,000 – €700,000, but by the following year (2012) it had nearly doubled to €1,000,000 – €1,250,000. By 2014, Google’s declared EU lobby spending had grown to more than €3,500,000, and for 2015 (the most recent figure declared), expenditure leapt again to €4,250,000 – €4,499,999 per year. All in all, since 2011, Google’s declared EU lobby spend has increased by 700 per cent in five years. src: https://lobbyfacts.eu/articles/12-12-2016/google-one-brussels%E2%80%99-most-active-lobbyists
so what lobbyists companies do – they analyze the public opinion and politicians – and try to steer their thinking towards more profit for companies and banks.
with viral campaigns hijacking the internet – fake campaigns and advertisement – public interest – and yes maybe even bribing politicians.
Wonder oh Wonder Fleishman-Hillard is a US company and most of it’s job offerings are in the US.
USA (Washington):
official spending 2013 in washington lobbying: 3.2 Billion USD
It can seem like lobbyists run Washington from behind the scenes. But their work isn’t completely opaque. They’re required to register with the House and the Senate when they lobby for a new client. Former members of Congress, former congressional staffers and former high-level regulators who now work as lobbyists—the so-called “revolving door” — are required to disclose their “covered” former positions. You can use this database to find out who’s lobbying on whose behalf — and about what issues. Here’s a guide.
