God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

    No one said anything about "general public".

    We are talking about legislation. Unless it's very specifically targeted legislation, the conversation always is about the general public.
