Jason Call | Regulatory Capture, Corporations Buying Influence
Manage episode 325515575 series 2815276
In this episode, Pat talks to Jason Call, candidate for Congress in Washington's 2nd District, about the need for Single-Payer Healthcare, the outsized influence of money in our political system, and what Call has been working for through Progressive Activism in the last 30 years. Jason Call started as a public school teacher and has been active in trying to get the Washington State Democratic Party to focus on Grassroots sources of funding instead of taking money from corporate lobbyists. Also discussed is the push for Single Payer healthcare in Washington State, which Jason has been doing through the group Whole Washington. Jason provides an example of how the lax regulation of Boeing jets, because of corporate influence on the regulatory committee, led to the 747 Max crashes.
In the open, Dan, Pat, and CMoney define the term "Regulatory Capture" and give examples to help listeners understand this detrimental practice. Also discussed were the efforts to pass single payer at the state level, some recent Union wins, and more.
