4. Back in the early 1970's a sociology prof had us each research the background of one corporate board

of directors to include education (high school, college and graduate), work experience, and government service. Every single one of mine went to one of three prep schools (primarily Philips Andover), attended Ivy League colleges, served in government under both Republican and Democratic administrations, belonged to multiple other corporate boards and several had served in congress or state legislatures. Everyone else in the class came to the same results with their boards' breakdown. The relationships were hideously incestuous then and I'm sure are far worse now. They marry each other and their children marry each other and the control of the 1% becomes more and more all pervasive.
