  • No, it’s 85-95%

    https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=2024&ind=Q05

    In the 2024 election cycle they contributed an average donation of well over $100,000 to 479 members of Congress… which is about 89% of the total members of house and senate. This does not include the president and vice president, or members of state legislators or the 40 million dollars they gave to fight against Mamdani in New York.

    The 89% number may be a percent or two too high because they also contribute to mid terms and they data is not separate from this data on open secrets… it probably is, but I’m not gonna spend all day looking for it. JD Vance acting as the 101st vote in the Senate would make up 1 percent there if this is the case.

    Well above 2/3rds. Your number is closer to a “lie” than my number, but both numbers are ridiculous.

    If you think “only 2/3rds” is somehow a defensive argument, you are loony tunes.


  • I think the problem there is lead pipes and old infrastructure that hasn’t been replaced… half assed renovations which causes changes in pressure and acidity etc and cause the problems with the lead being released.

    Yes… just looked it up… they switched sources of water which caused the old lead pipes to leach toxins and they didn’t use enough chlorine which allowed some bacteria to thrive and make people sick
