Something Iโve been shouting from
the rooftops for awhile now is: Ban lobbying.
Shut up and hear grok outโฆ
I asked Grok today โwhat would happen if lobbying was made illegal in the united states?โ:
If lobbying were outlawed in the United States, the political and economic landscape would shift dramatically. Here's a concise imagining of the potential outcomes:
- **Political Influence**: Without lobbying, interest groupsโcorporations, unions, advocacy organizationsโwould lose direct access to lawmakers. Policy decisions might better reflect public interest over concentrated power, but well-funded groups could still exert influence through indirect means, like public campaigns or grassroots mobilization.
- **Legislative Process**: Lawmakers would rely more on internal research, public input, or think tanks for policy expertise. This could slow down legislation, as the quick information flow from lobbyists would vanish. However, it might reduce "pork-barrel" provisions favoring specific industries. 1 reply
