As someone of middle age that’s been thinking of a career change away from all my BofH open source tech roots, and maybe going back to school, I’ve been very disheartened to see how married a lot of curriculums in public universities are to specific companies. Maybe it was always like this and I didn’t notice, I can imagine if you did an engineering program in the 80’s you’d have Boeing employees as professors, but fuck me if I’m going to go to Adobe art school.
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.
All I can say is Nothing new on the western front. Same shit all the time.
