In America, if something makes money our government will do backflips trying to engineer it into legality. The same companies that profit by these means donate to policy-making lobbies, PACs, and directly to politicians, legally, despite the obvious conflict of interest. There is also almost no barrier between being a lobbyist and government employment. In most arenas it presents as corruption and profiteering. But in our failures on gun control and policing... the consequences are fatal. (spelling)
