        It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

          During the net nuetrality days of 2016, I can remember a list being put out of every senator who voted in favor of dismantling net nuetrality.

          And this list showed all known payoffs to each senator.

          One senator was bribed $584 total by 4 different ISP giants.
