    I’m a big advocate for taking their money, being loud about what they wanted for it, and then just not doing it.

    Bribes don’t come with binding contracts.

    Take the money and tell them to fuck off.

    Eventually they’ll stop trying to bribe everyone. If you turn it down, they’ve lost nothing

      The trick is like the 50k ICE “signing bonuses”.

      Multiple reports have stated that those bonuses have ten year+ payout plans, or are just outright delayed by several years before the facist sees anything.

      I’ve always had a similar thought about if I ever became a politician. Sure I’ll take your money and then I’ll put you on blast and I’ll donate it to a deserving charity or community program.

      Take the money and tell them to fuck off.

      That’s not how integrity works. The stink of it would always follow them. Remove doubt by being a better human.

    But this is what the Republicans voted for… To be pushed around, marginalized, and taken advantage of by big corporations. You’d think they’d be happy lol
