    And they used that money as a cudgel to make political bribery perfectly legal in Citizens United, as if it wasn’t already rampant. They own this fucking place above board now.

    We get a vote on how to, or if we even should address the social issue symptoms of our oligarch class rigging the economic game, ie who to blame or what to spend on the ever dwindling crumbs left for the Commons.

    We don’t get a vote on the economy itself, that’s above our paygrade. From Pelosi to McConnell, “herp derp the free market we’re bribed to rig for capital is working just fine… For our portfolios! 🤣”
