Exactly.

If Congress seeks to regulate air, water, land, and space pollution, from American companies, they should appoint industry experts who intend to leave public sector jobs for lucrative private sector jobs by going to work for the companies the laws need to regulate. It’s worked great for politicians who become lobbyists or prosecutors who go work for big law.

It’ll work great here too.

Absolutely! We should also make sure that no one in agencies is safe. It’s only the industries and courts which can do the work - only for a short while, you know, till congress gets less gridlocked.

Seeing how polarized and partisan things are, it will only be a few decades!

Plus seeing how some of the court positions have been, I can only think that lobbying is going to become a massive business ! So much growth!
