In the end it is public representatives that commit the treason. We need accountability here, even when there is a wish to get your hands on lobbyists.

It isn't just Exxon that conducts business like this.

Many people can be responsible for an outcome. The lobbyists, the elected officials, the many people who make money by helping them. And plenty more. We can and should hold all of those people accountable for their choices.

They designed the system very safe for themselves. Worse it gets for them is losing a job. They gotta earn as much as they can, for as long as they can.

My point exactly. This should be getting prosecuted under RICO.
