What does lobbying actually entail? Some company gives you a bucket of money to then spend on "convincing" politicians to see things the company's way?

What kind of checks are there by the government to make sure you're not straight up offering cash? Like do you have to document publicly/privately every :10bux: spent?

Although, I mean, I can say that about my sector; if you're working for the tobacco or things like that then I don't know what. Oh, wait, no - I do - it's piles and piles of money. Those guys have warchests we can only dream of.

If you can't spend the money directly on the politician, how does the dream warchest help - just give you more staff so your organization can talk to more people/track more stuff?
