Lobbying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It defintly is a slippery slope. I work for a municipalitylies utilities company. Part of my job is working with a utilities companies union to lobby politicians to make laws that will actually improve the way we can work. I think we actually do improve things for the German public by bringing desperately needed knowledge to the table.

But I think we are a small minority among lobbying institutions.
