Cool, can we do Russia next? Pretty sure that's our president and 33% of the supreme Court

Business doesn't care about boarders, unless they impact profit and there's no loophole. The best bet is to follow the money and then create laws restricting how it can be used in the government as well as increase what's legally required in fiscal transparency.

Pretty sure it's not CAnada. But it might be Ontario... California can be confusing.
