17. Anyone with money invested in Wall St is invested against progress.

Unless of course that "progress" brings them more money, then it is progress as measured by the only concerns shareholders naturally exhibit. The concerns of themselves and by extension the board members and CEO'S of the companies they place above the rules of humanity, the rules of the natural world and the rules of their faith, if any.

Behind every vicious attack against helping others, behind every deceit and betrayal of our democracy and those who struggle for it abroad, are the funds of shareholders amassed against them and the most evil minds they can afford to hire to pimp and create conditions ripe for corporate plunder.

We are so few. They are legion.
