Around COVID I had checked on donations to one of my local state reps and found out they had bought off by a corporation for a $3400 check. We were making jokes at my work about getting together and pitching in a few bucks each to pass laws
Holy shit! Mexican politicians are way more expensive. My small town mayors of a poor town in the middle of nowhere sell for several million worth of construction contracts.
I remember hearing a british MP had been bought off with something like 1200 pounds worth of dinners and stuff. Global North politicians cannot fathom the numbers we have in the global south.
