Villain World CardsIs this corruption?
Pic 1: I was served an ad for a hyper-violent rightwing militia, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Pic 2: I click on the information about the ad and see that it's being paid for by the agency but placed by a private marketing firm.
Pic 3: The marketing firm is using progressive identity politics to promote itself ("woman-owned small business").
Pic 4: But the only public facing officer I could find was a middle-aged white dude who spent his entire career working for the military.
Pic 5: Here's one of the most recent govt contract granted to the Marcom Group. The contract is for a massive $193 MILLION. As far as I can tell, the only thing that Marcom actually does is fill out a form on Google ads and click submit.
This guy spent the last 2 decades in the public sector and now he's working a cushy job at an unproductive marketing company that's supported by lucrative govt contracts. This is regulatory capture.
Is this corruption?
It looks like The Marcom Group and Google are ripping off the American people.
