Oddbean new post about login | logout If the government actually cared about preventing money laundering they would audit every PAC and campaign fund.
Campaign reform is desperately needed, but PACs are not covered when they try to reform. They are supposed to release who the donors are but it never happens.
My bugaboo is lobbying & how they write bills etc …
That’s great.
We should get rid of PAC's, for they are fronts for compromising operations.
As of now we have outside resources doing it in the USA … but most never read it. Is it Politico numbness or misinformation
Is there any evidence they care about it? A group of senators looked at fatca years ago and concluded stops 3% of laundering. Its bullshit. Audit all the banks too! Go to monaco and impound all the high end cars with ukraininan number plates. You could sell them all and donate to ignored veterans who suffer injuries from fiat wars tge didnt understand. Just a thought
Start with the politicians
