Peter Thiel Gave Money to Attorney General Going After Google
Yes those who have money buy political favors in US.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opensecrets.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;amid-antitrust-talk-amazon-and-google-flex-lobbying-muscle&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opensecrets.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;amid-antitrust-talk...</a><p>Google has 25 lobbying firms on retainer and spends at least $15M &#x2F; year on lobbying. That is more than Verizon, Monsanto and Goldman for example, just to pick a few traditional big and scary companies off the top of my head.<p>Also speaking of Google, it has a pretty wide revolving door: &quot;22 former White House officials moved into jobs at Google, while 31 Google executives took government jobs&quot;. It&#x27;s not necessarily more un-evil or better than Monsanto for example, but many people still think of it as the cute little startup with fun colorful letters in the logo.
