Thousands of donors making small contributions to election campaigns is the narrative. I call bullshit. Two small examples are the 8th (where I live) and the 3rd Congressional Districts in Colorado.
Between the two candidates, $15,000,000 has been contributed and/or spent. Much of the money is from PACs that are not necessarily controlled by the candidate.
Doing the math, some $30,000,000 has been raised/spent on two pissant Congressional seats. Are all the big donors altruistic, or do they expect a big return on their “investment”?

Circa1986, Cal had a Yugo franchise in the Seattle area. He would lease you a Yugo for $84 a month. I never understood (or cared to find out) how that lease worked but the lease had 100% payoff until the whole lease was paid. Zero equity until the last payment.
People would drive onto our lot in a Yugo with a 1,000 yard stare. The seasoned salespeople would scatter and the green pea would get the “up”. The only way those Yugo drivers could trade out was with a huge amount of cash, enough to pay the entire initial lease amount.

Wyoming has a population of only 500,000+ but takes no backseat to other states for psychos.As always, YMMV

Gah... Cal Worthington...and Spot! He 'sponsored' the middle of the night B and C movies... sigh
I never worked one of his lots and only met him once, briefly, at a car show.
Had a friend ripped off by Cal Worthington. What an asshole.
I also had a friend who drove a Yugo. It was a crappy car.
Cal and ethics were strangers. One of many reasons I never even applied at one of his dealerships. Yes, Yugos were among the worse excuse of an automobile ever sold in the US.
