17 days agoCall me skeptical or jaded or what have you, but I think if you ban political donations that are transparent in the public square, you’re only going to get more bribes and greased palms.
Kind of like how a prohibition on alcohol or drugs or gambling results in more organized crime. I fear it’s a part of the human condition.
Instead, I’d much rather see a public blockchain, where donations could be tracked and reported, and have laws against the donations that are placed in secret.
It puts the whole climate change “controversy” in perspective for me. It’s not controversial, these people just have a death wish. It’s best if we just move along without them, where possible, and don’t let them get in our way.
