Corporate Lobbying comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from July 2019 to November 2020.
Decentralized Food Systems and Free Market Accountability
Greg Carlwood and Doug Lindemood discuss the risks of centralized food systems where a few corporations control 80% of beef production. They advocate for a decentralized, capitalistic model where local ranchers are personally accountable to their customers, allowing for transparency that giant industrial entities cannot provide.
Corporate Corruption and the Suppression of Scientific Data
Dr. Milham details instances of corporate interference in public health research, citing a case where Kaiser Aluminum hired a consultant allegedly funded by Monsanto to neutralize his cancer findings. The discussion expands to broader systemic corruption, including the influence of AIPAC on Congress and the Boeing 737 Max software failures. Milham argues that private interests and lobbying frequently override public safety and scientific integrity.
