    I don’t really get why and how lobbies are even allowed.

    I always thought the correct word to describe it was “corruption” and that it was illegal.

      Welcome to capitalism, where stuff like this is only illegal in socialist countries.

      It’s lobbying in the West and Euro subsidies embezzlement in the East.

      I’d choose the second option tbh. I’d rather yoink some funds than take a bribe.
