    How much do you think automakers are bribing the GOP with? My guess is it’s only like $10k each, I bet politicians are cheap af in Michigan.

      Based on other reports of US bribery, it might not even be that much. Politicians seem to be on sale for shockingly little money sometimes, especially at the local level.

      $10k is way too much. Probably just couple thousand

      I once had lunch with a guy who was formerly a lobbyist for Mizzou. He said it was easy af to bribe state politicians. A lot of times he would just give them season tickets to Mizzou games.
