It seems like its easier and more straightforward, and profitable, for the state to just take pay to heed the interests of private industry, as opposed to the complex nature of properly managing and answering to the citizenry as a whole, or even feigning interest in their well-being.

Though it does feel like the founders did get those checks and balances in there (or was that later?) or we'd be more fucked than we already are. And our form of representative republic hasn't always been beyond salvaging. But since the last corporate buyout and with the propaganda proliferated by the internet I feel hard-pressed to challenge it. What will get us out of this one? Education was always key, and the aristocracy was always going to fuck us on that one.

Do they mean the woman he bribed to close an investigation of his scam university? That Pam Bondi?

But his entire political career was purchased by big tech! Is he a malfunctioning robot or something?

Its forbes. A rag I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.

There's no such thing as democracy. We had a representative republic for a while, I think. Then it began to metamorphosize into a corporate oligarchy, now it is completing that transition and then some.

It's not un American. It's inhuman.

Goddamned new york times. It's not a bet! It's an investment, by billionaires, in Trump. Forever soft-pedaling into oligarchic fascism; line must go up.

For more reasons than supporting Ukraine, even, divest from multi-nationals and their subsidiaries, wherever possible. Look up Nestle-owned companies on wikipedia, while you can. Read the back of the label when you shop. Every effort counts.

I actually was not. But I dig some older women with silver hair. However, the woman in this photo is almost baby faced (no offense at all intended). Grandma commentary is odd.

There's good reason to believe he's using the charity Tunnels to Towers to squirrel away $16k a month to a self-titled LLC. Oldest grift in the book: embezzling from charity so you don't have to quit drinking! Seriously though, he looks like he has suffered severely from his support of these fascist fucks, and it's very clear how little he has to show for it. Wish some folks would look at him and realize that's where they're headed: left in a ditch to rot.
