        The problem with that is that some lobbying is good it’s just that the EFF for instance can’t compete with Google.

          How abut outlawing that corporations can lobby? You have to be a non-profit and ran by people not affiliated with any corporations. CEO has to make a low threshold per year. We can work around that.

            i get what you mean, but i worked with a lot of corporation soles. usually single practitioner medical practices, for the primary purposes of: limiting liability and ease of sale (when the MD/DDS wants to retire). i’m not bothered by small business corps, since you have to register as a corporation (in the US) to be a charitable organization.

          Exactly. Bad causes are so overrepresented in lobbying because lobbying as a concept is authoritarian, even if it can be occasionally used for good.
