The lobby groups behind Trump

I think I’ll flag this quite worrying Guardian article up today, concerning the extent to which corporate lobby groups now hold sway, especially in America. They purport to be grassroots groups, but scratch the surface and you’ll find them funded by billionaires and corporations with vested interests. This is especially worrying with a joke like Trump in charge.These groups, pretending to represent common people, will simply do away with legislation on things like climate change; we’re already seeing it start to happen. If we are already despairing at that utter joke becoming president in the first place, it would seem there’s a lot of despair yet to come.
