Sure wish voting rights had as big a voice as Delta Airlines CEO

[LearnedHand]

This has been bothering me ever since the CDC announcement: How is it the CEO of Delta proposes a shortening of quarantine time and CDC falls all over itself to make the science match the what he wants? Meanwhile, voting rights advocates are begging the federal government/Congress to do something and just CRICKETS! I sure wish the little persons had as big a voice. Oh wait: I forgot money makes it he CEOs more equal.


Edit: Corrected typo.

3. Same problem as education advocates..no big donors

In our pay to play system, made worse by citizens united, only those interests that put cash on the barrel head move.

Money pays and money says.

If we donated as much money as the CEO of the airlines and coal companies, we might be able to move manchin.

7. Do you have proof that the Delta CEO's comments skewed the CDCs analysis?

He wrote a letter. So what? What was Delta going to do if they didn't shift the policy?

9. Says a lot

Our politicians and government workers, in all parties, seem to increasingly be of the ilk to praise power, money, and control over freedom, democracy, and representing the lowly voter. If it were truly of import, we would see an individual bill pursuing voters rights, rather than the current boondoggle it is included in. A reawakening needs soon occur in D.C. or we will witness a reshuffling of priorities as never before.
