One company I worked at had more full-time collections people than sales people. Our products were a lot cheaper than our competitors, and it attracted a lot of customers with no money.
Another company I worked at ignored all "first notice" bills they ran up. CFO told me that if a company wanted paid, they needed to send a second notice.
The Dems and GOP have similar business models: trade policy and legislation for campaign donations, and deliver tribalism to voters.
That's not to say the two parties are the same - they differ significantly. One party is funded by the truly psychopathic billionaires, and the other party is funded by the usual greedy bastard billionaires. Chalk and cheese, as the British say.
"Deadlock" is the excuse that your party makes when they only pass laws for billionaires.
