62. "Corporate media has failed us."

Fri Jul 19, 2024, 10:30 AM

Jul 2024

No, capitalism has failed us and I am at a loss to explain why we still demand that it be the only game in town. These days, it seems as if the elections have nothing to do with qualified individuals, just who can raise the most money. We seldom even see the books after an election to understand what happened to all of it.

Blame the greed that capitalism demands. We allow it and certain segments of the population even worship it.
