Isn’t it basically a retro-active bribe? Industry lets elected representatives know - wink wink - that there’s going to be a job waiting for them when they leave office, and it’s going to pay really, really well, to motivate them to vote in their interests while they’re still in office. And it’s all perfectly legal because the the money being given that is ridiculously disproportionate to the job being done is handed over after they’ve left office.
