All legislation in the U$A is written by corporate lobbyists. Anything else would never come to a vote.
A definite hurdle.
i just want to grill man
So we currently have some opportunities in regards to money as speech and corporations as "persons". It seems to me that abusing these decisions to argue something like a corporation flagrantly violating sanctions as the government banning the free speech of a person is the right direction. Should the left have some plan to open a cooperative just to do business directly with Cuba or something? Complete with some legal counsel, of course?
I think thats rather hopeful on the courts operating on the facts and logic, and not on interests
That's the beauty of a poison pill legislation. They can act in either manner and you win.
with cuba i suspect they rather throw book at your "shipping to cuba, llc", consider you a terrorist (thus matter of national security without corporate free speech rights) and be done with it
Yeah, a commitment to "transitional programmes" as the Trots call them would be nice, but you gotta be able to take advantage when the capitalists put the hammer down on your shoes for orphans campaign because it will decrease profits 2% next quarter.
