Why there aren't laws in place that forbid any member of a regulatory body from EVER directly participating or becoming hired by ventures that stood to gain from the regulatory decision...boggles my fucking mind.
Because it's fucking unbelievable that someone would so openly and blatantly do this. It's just stinks of bad character and the vacant, drifting ethical content of large swaths of American politics. Right wingers harp on morality till they are blue in the face (mostly from auto-erotic asphyxiation, me thinks) but what about some goddamn ethics? I don't care if you are banging three dudes and a chincillia in your off time. Can you watch this goddamn ship that is heading for the goddamn rock or at least not steer the goddamn thing directly AT the rock?
