If I recall, I read a story years ago that they ,or someone else, but I think it's them were taking California's ground water near the mountains where I live. How did they do it? Well, it had something to do with the one who has the biggest pump wins. So. privatizing our free water benefits them and whoever they're paying off.
They gave the most money to election campaigns and other fundraisers. Read fundraisers as bribery.
The almond farmers are almost as bad.
I don't know how they legally get away with this crap since bribery is illegal no matter what euphemism is used.
When you look at the laws that would apply, you find that it isn't bribery. Yet, when you discuss it with normal people that are paying even a smidgen of attention to what is going on, all we see is bribery.
