If we had a strong reform minded government, our leaders could oppose these parasites, and then make examples out of those that mistreat our productive companies. Like which of these private Equity douchebags can't be hit with a crime for something or another? Not a single one, you can get everyone with the tax evasion charges.

We need leaders that protect us from these monied parasites.

Already happened, hospitals, clinics, ambulances, but also housing.

These parasites are going to ruin us all and we are doing nothing about it.

They wanted to run the United States like Bain Capital as well. Thank God we came to our senses and instead ran it like the dirty real estate developer in bed with the mob!

I read something about the birth of these private Equity firms sometime in the late 70s or early '80s when a firm bought out this other productive firm and loaded them up with debt, paid themselves every which way they could, sold off any profitable parts of the company, then declared bankruptcy and stiffed everybody else walking away with a boatload of cash, unemployed workforces, and razed Pension funds.

We have been celebrating this type of behavior for decades now, Behavior I think exemplified in Monty Python's skits of the pirate building seizing the other buildings like it was a pirate ship.

It would also be a cheap imitation, it will not be the immortality they are looking for, science is nowhere near this singularity they are dumping all of this money into.

One wonders, hurting his detractors will be one main motive. To amass the largest fortune another, I think they are involved in a lot of under the table stuff.

Money is the end with our rich, not a means to one.

Little late now, the fix is now in. And those same forces will be helping to keep the beatable dems at the helm of opposition.

What gave it away? Did 25 year long quest to invalidate elections they don't win? The denial they did lose an election? Or was it the false accusations projecting what they are doing onto the opposition? Or was it the literal coup attempt where they tried to take Congress hostage and force it to sign over the republic?

The author must be a sharp one!

They were raised for this, this is the reason for being of these federalist society hack traitors. They will find time.

Feds are only supposed to regulate interstate commerce, without any barriers on trade or people within states.

They are way way over their authority and need to be put into check after this dumster fire burns out.

Not so convenient when one loses their phone or service. Then get locked put of everything.

Does not make sense to me, but that bit was not doctrine until 350 ad.
