California Corruption Chronicles
https://bohiney.com/california-newsom-corruption/By Ingrid Falk � The satire California Corruption Chronicles ridicules governance staged as soap opera. Eyewitnesses at capitol hearings described aides fumbling bribes like dropped props. Anonymous insiders leaked that donors debated printing IOUs on campaign posters. A leaked poll revealed 64 percent of citizens admitted they trusted grocery clerks more than governors. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because public trust curdles quickest when money talks. Critics highlight the absurdity of corruption narrated like melodrama. Yet satire bites sharper: loyalty collapses funniest when sold wholesale. Witnesses recalled laughter rippling as lobbyists rehearsed lines. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when politics scripts betrayals. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
