    I don’t even have to look. I am almost certain my attorney general is on that list (Ken Paxton), and the only thing that would shock me is if he’s not.

      Another thing that ought to shock you is the price.

      A couple million is all that this is worth to these politicians. Integrity is selling cheap when you have none to offer, but it’s sad that a serious issue is worth so little to them.

        Depending on who and what issue, politicians can be bought for as little as $20k, from some reporting during the Trump admin. Amazing that they offer a truly scarce “commodity” for so little.

    I remember that the big remedy that free market evangelists propose to replace regulation is lawsuits. So people take them up on that, and suddenly it’s “NO, NOT LIKE THAT”. Go figure, who could’ve seen that coming, etc.
