If some politicians who wrote a law(/tax) that is beginning to royally mess up health insurance weren't in the pocket of the pharmaceuticals that law might have actually had ONE good aspect to it...I wonder how lobbing (bribery) expenditures of the pharmaceuticals compares to research spending?....

The FCC is similarly screwed up. Instead of regulating the airwaves to prevent signal conflicts, preventing broadcast standards changes that obsolete equipment currently in use, etc like they did when they were run by engineering minded folks, it is instead all about the money they can get from the cellphone, etc companies by selling bandwidth, and which political buts they can kiss.

You got it......

The US Government is a Bribery Driven Government.

That is basically why almost everything they do no one likes....

I don't recall even knowing about ATSC until I first read about the digital transition (which I still think was a joke).
