Here here! Well said! Another good site for these issues are Open the Books and revolving Door Project. Agreed, BUT the flaws are fundamentally coming from parts of human nature. There’s a lot of reward in receiving lobbyist money and there’s not much profit in putting health before profiteering. It’s a fundamental lack of civic morality, not just in our current era, but throughout the entire course of human history. What needs to be done to deter this flaw is to stop rewarding amoral behavior and start punishing it. It’s a big ask, but if there’s a mass movement then it’s doable.
