There is no inconsistency with advocating for changing the rules of the game for all players, while also playing according to the existing rules until that happens.

Are they lobbying for that or just writing it like it's a dream?

[lotsofpulp]

I do not see what difference that would make. Writing it, especially in a widely read publication, is a form of lobbying anyway.

Why does it not make a difference to bribe politicians? That's the whole point of lobbying isn't it?

[lotsofpulp]

I have no idea where this conversation is going. Lobbying is not bribing, and even if one were to assume lobbying is effectively bribing, expressing one’s opinion in a newsletter is certainly not bribing, so you are going to have to help connect some dots.
