Chatgpt high level summary:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce received an $800,000 donation from billionaire Hank Meijer shortly after endorsing his son, Peter Meijer, in a 2022 primary. This donation and subsequent ad spending for Peter Meijer have highlighted the issue of "dark money" in U.S. elections, where the ultimate sources of funding are not disclosed. Although the Chamber followed legal requirements, the timing raised questions about the transparency and motivations behind such contributions. The article underscores the broader problem of undisclosed political donations and their impact on voter information and trust in the electoral process.

And by dark money we mean very bright money, literally everyone knows this is a thing.
If we legalize corruption, it may lead to mass corruption, but we can at least see the corruption a little better?
