I assume the owners and investors are Obama donors. I note Goldman Sachs is one of them.
That was my first thought. You can bet your ass that the company contracted to install these things are big Democrat donors and politically connected.
Of course, part of their profits from this will go back into Democrat coffers via donations. THAT’S how tax payer money/spending gets laundered/funneled back to THEM. There should be a law passed that if an entity receives money from the government in any way, they won’t be allowed to make donations to political organizations or candidates for 5 years after the funds were received.
BOTH parties would HATE it, but that would clean things up a bit. They’d surely find a workaround though. They always do.
