It’s only a non-issue only if you have legal standing and the wherewithal/funding to push through to discovery, which in this case is a really (in)convenient catch-22 if you’re a constituent who wants to institute reform.

The fourth estate, the one that we ostensibly trust to hold power to account, again very conveniently, does not generally have that standing, FOIA excepted.

If one doesn't have standing, then what business do they have with it?

Public policy? Democracy? Accountability and transparency?

You know, all that good stuff.

Lol yes, we should doxx your financial account information for these purposes? Why don't you try forming a real argument.

My home purchases are already public records. As are most normies. We can't all afford LLCs and other corpo shell games to hide behind.
