"I look at other countries which have chosen their people over power and obscene wealth. They do fine. They have people trying to be better. They have religious fanatics, bigots, misogynists, and greedy people, but they are, so far, keeping them in check. Our country was able to have a vast safety net and still thrive as the richest country, the most powerful country. We're losing what has made us the greatest country."
And yet, I am called crazy for wanting to basically have a re-do on what came after the Constitution, and this time regulate the shit out of businesses so that they understand that they are just a business and their relative 'wealth and power' cannot be used to interfere with our government or our lives.
(I asked a CEO once (who was bragging/whinging about their company and its recent 'wins') if he himself had cleared, layed out and built the roads that they used to deliver their product every day, and if he himself had actually built the building that they were in with his bare hands. This was after he had been whining about how the factory people were too demanding and were interfering with getting an even higher output rating.
He did not like it. But, I was just one of the performers who had been entertaining them earlier. So, I was easily dismissed.
Of course.)
