Monatelang haben wir Lobbyregister gefilzt, Expert:innen befragt, eine Lobby-Konferenz besucht & Daten ausgewertet. Das Ergebnis: Die Straßenbaulobby ist bestens organisiert & setzt ihre Interessen mit Erfolg durch. 2/7

Diagramm, das die Machtstrukturen der Straßenbaulobby in Deutschland veranschaulicht. Zentral im Diagramm ist die „Autobahn GmbH & DEGES GmbH“ für Fernstraßenbau dargestellt, umgeben von miteinander verbundenen Akteuren: Baukonzerne, Ingenieurbüros, Forschungsinstitutionen, Finanz- und Versicherungsbranche, Industrie- und Handelskammern (IHKs), und Lobbyverbände wie FSV/GSV. Die Pfeile zeigen Beziehungen wie Bauaufträge, Lobbying, Finanzierung, Beteiligungen, und Regelwerke. Es wird deutlich, wie umfassend das Geflecht ist, von Unternehmen bis hin zu staatlichen Akteuren, die Entscheidungen zum Straßenbau beeinflussen. Diese Netzwerkgrafik illustriert eindrucksvoll, wie politisch und wirtschaftlich stark vernetzt die Akteure der Straßenbaulobby sind und wie komplex ihre Einflussnahme ist.

The state, including both parties, are by and for America's rich. America's rich buy the state they want via campaign contributions, bribery, lobbying, etc. Voting for this or that party won't save us from fascism. America's Rich turn to fascism to defend capitalism and empire. 1/2

“This week, a Georgia chemical plant suffered yet another accident, releasing toxic fumes into an Atlanta suburb for at least the fourth time. The plant falls into a yawning regulatory loophole that chemical industry lobbying has kept open for years.”

Pains me to read this and think about groups like this from the 80s that were trying to set up something like ALEC and weren't half-bad at winning elections... ...but then were so ineffectual at lobbying (or, at the state-level in Iowa, outfoxed or out-gunned by ALEC and their allies).
