    $200M is still big ocean house money. $200B is buying politicians money. The difference is about $200B.

      Hell no… Politicians are cheap AF. You could buy a senator to lobby for your bill for $20K.

      For $200M, you could buy the entire senate, house, and presidency for a year.

        Even the more premium offerings, like supreme court justices, are getting to be pretty reasonably priced and they often run deals, too, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out and shop around for the best price.

        Unlike the cost of ocean-front housing, they’re not listed.

          There’s been plenty of stories that have come out that it took a relatively small amount to buy important votes. At this point they should just crowd fund buying out these guys. At least it would drive the price up and make it more transparent how shitty some of these people are.
