I’m happy that the Citizens United ruling so many years ago paved the way to corporations controlling our Congress. Can you imagine if they had to write laws without millions of dollars in corporate and foreign money on the table?
I’m happy that our Supreme Court has basically no oversight and can freely take gifts from corporations and their mega rich owners. Can you imagine if they had to decide cases without that influence?
And finally I’m happy that our President gave away billions to corporations and foreign governments and is spending lots of money bombing children overseas. Can you imagine that money being spent on anything else?
But most of all I’m happy that our free press is largely controlled by mega corporations and foreigners who will dutifully keep all of this out of sight and out of mind, twisting narratives to suit them, their shareholders, and their advertisers.
This is a great America. I can’t imagine it any other way.

P.S.
I’ve written ad nauseam about being grateful for what I have and wanting my standard of living to be the bare minimum. I remain convinced that if it’s possible to rig the system in such a way that so few people benefit, it is likely true that it is possible to rig the system in such a way that the maximum number of people benefit.
But you need leaders that believe that to get it started.

Whole heartily agree. Sad times we live in.
