Between The CEO Mafia And The Christo Fascist Govt Infiltrators And The GOP I Wonder ----

if we can survive as a decent nation to live. Even though we won the last election you wonder how we will change the direction of this ship of state. We are still sliding right on worker rights, separation of church and state and the fate of minorities, the elderly, the middle class and the poor.

which makes it much more difficult. That is to say, for example, that if MallWart stores manages to scrabble enough money together to undercut the prices at the corner store, the corner store goes out of business, MallWart picks up the business, amasses more money, and moves on to the next corner store. Vulture capitalism is not a linear enterprise, it's geometric, and they know it. The misery index may be the great equalizer, but it is a damn shame we have to go that direction because of the greed of the wackos. It has happened before, of course, ("Let them eat cake&quot but not on this scale.

We still don't have the house.

And they will use the house to chip away at the foundations of all the good things.

And you failed to mention climate change in your list. Don't let on, if you are so inclined, that you may be a denier about climate change. There is a mob just waiting to lynch climate change deniers.

They're desperate and outspoken now, but they are well aware that the direction of this country is not going their way; and so they're just trying to solidify their gains while they can. Bet on it.
