That's universally ignored on HN. Almost nobody on here ever wants to talk about the fact that ~97% of all the people that were put into prison under the war on drugs over the last 40 years, went into government prisons to benefit government agendas & employees. It's very, very, very aggressively ignored here, and the sole response you'll usually get if you do bring up the actual facts of the situation, is heavy downvoting (you won't get much discussion unfortunately).


Please don't make grandiose generalizations about the community as a rhetorical device. It's pompous and the generalizations are invariably wrong. Moreover, who cares? Let's keep to the topic, or at least something interesting.


Point me to some heavily down voted comments like this and then I'll believe you.


I agree. I guess at least private lobbying IS visible, whereas governement lobbying is just business as usual for them ; hence more opaque
