The Missouri House has passed legislation that could protect chemical manufacturer Bayer from some lawsuits alleging a popular weedkiller causes cancer.
Investigate donations to those MO House members voting for this bullshit. Smells like Bayer Bribes, since this doesn’t benefit the citizens of MO at all.
Try reading Blaine’s FB page and then imagine the only way to be rid of him was his retirement, and knowing he’ll likely be replaced with the same or worse.
Can’t wait to get my family back out of this shithole state. KC, StL, Columbia, and Springfield are ok but the rest of the state are loud and proud white trash MAGATS steadily voting to fuck over the population centers where all the atate funds come from.
This state is so bad the only way we see progress is with ballot initiatives where gerrymanderign can’t defeat the popular vote. And guess what the MO house and senate are working on right now. Yep, making ballot initiatives harder to pass.
Saint Louis has been held back as a city for decades because StL city is in StL county and is prone to the state legislature’s fuckery. Like when StL raised the minimum wage for the city. State blocked it because…they could.
The governmental structure of the City of St. Louis is unusual in the United States. Since 1876, St. Louis has been an independent city, meaning it is not part of any county. St. Louis operates as both a city and a county. St. Louis is the only city in Missouri which operates its own “county” offices. St. Louis is a home rule city, but it is not a home rule county, thus county functions and offices are subject to state restrictions on county governments.
I’m trying to get out, but it’ll likely be a while. Thankfully I apparently give off hick vibes, so I’m not personally treated too bad, but the majority of my friends are.
And they wonder why young people are leaving in droves.
I think the NRA got Ted Cruz for @ $25,000. At least what is publicly available. I’ve seen as low as $10,000 in campaign donations. Like, that’s not even a new car, to betray humanity.
Not sure why you are being down-voted. It doesn’t have to be bribes that causes a person to vote some way. Just bringing a shitload of jobs to an area would cause a politician to vote a certain way. Because jobs makes voters happy, and happy voters would vote for that person again, so they stay in power.

Good idea.
Blaine Luetkemeyer, Ann Wagner, Emanuel Cleaver, Eric Burlison, and Jason Smith all took $100K+ from insurance corporations for their campaigns.
All republicans. Guess this is what owning the libs looks like.
There are no words how much I specifically hate Ann Wagner and Jason Smith. Two of the biggest shit stains in this state.

Probably because they belong in a venn diagram with estranged parents that don’t know why their kids have gone no contact.

How many took under $100k? It never ceases to amaze me how cheap government is to buy. Imagine how cheap it seems to the 1%.

They employ a lot of people in the St. Louis area. They bring a lot of high paying jobs to the area and the government likes that.

It’s the internet, I did a wrong think. People can’t make corporate America the evil villain if you find a silver lining and it helps someone.
I got a job for all those people and more.
Building free public housing. And keep doing it until being a landlord isn’t a “job”.
heard it here first, boys! Causing cancer is now legitimate business practice, just gotta pay the right(wink) people
Laughs in asbestos and tobacco… Probably alcohol but they won’t release that study yet.
