    Any reason why they cut out the part where she says “citizens organized in....” 🤔 strange.

    You made a mistake when given the definition of what lobbying is getting government to act in the best interest of their corporate entities but never for the people

      I’m trying to educate myself on mass production and consumer protection. I hope to learn that massive conglomerates like P&G have internal safeguards but I suspect they pay substantial money to get away with using carcinogenic ingredients in their soaps, detergents, hand washes, diapers, shaving products etc. it’s unrealistic for the average person to make all this stuff at home…we depend on the integrity of these companies

      I understand that you are upset, however lobbying is neutral.
      Anyone could be a lobbyists for any cause.

    Speech in favor of legalized bribery. Sure, lobbying could be used to help the world. It's not being used for that.

    So, it's a person who goes to one of power and offers them money to make their company/their personal interests more money?
    So, takes money to get a good deed done?
    😂😂
    I can't listen to this lady talk. She's trying too hard to "convince".

    Very narrow definition of lobbying, truth is all about perception and the info you are given. Nasdaq is a company, it is also our economy. There is no excuse for lining your pockets for corporate interests. You’re killing people
