(5,178 posts)Democracy is there for us, we exercise it every day, but it has grown very weak.
One good thing about CU is it at least provides the concrete and undeniable knowledge that every dollar in Wall St, every hour logged in its service, is a vote for more of the same.
They say if you work hard for something, you can achieve it and dang, just look at how well they have done! Generations, decades of dedicated lawmakers, lobbyists and investors, all funding and backing the small and incremental changes in corporate regulations, little nick here, little tuck there, all leading to the glorious and culminating moment of person hood. Victor Von Frankenstein seethes with envy.
I still have trust that an overwhelming outpouring of support for a political candidate cannot be faked away. Corporate coffers are deadly deep, but not that deep, not yet at least. Thanks to those who place a higher premium on peace than money and caring for real people instead of caring for monsters.
