    it wouldn’t solve everything overnight but to amplify what you said. all positions of political government should be carried out in the same way jurt duty is. No more Career politicians. and obviously it should go without saying, ban all lobbying. Its not a complete answer but its a good start and a definitively better outcome than the current status quo

      I used to feel this way about Career Politicians but they actually have the opposite problem in some other countries. Politicians having personal businesses makes it very, very easy to bribe them.

        Lobbying straight up makes bribery legal for career politicians. How could it possibly be easier than that?
