      @DemocracyMattersALot How about the NYT article where Gavin came out against the wealth tax in CA? Lesser of two evils, eh?

          @DemocracyMattersALot since the 80 it’s been full busting with political help. Unions are the only reason corporations pay a decent wage wage and insurance

                Here's a list of the folks funding fascism... may they find out.

                Prosecutions for RICO corruption & tax evasion would be a good beginning.
                They're funding an ecocide, recession, & war.

                        @DemocracyMattersALot I had the most amazing conversation this afternoon with two budtenders. Young women; and Epstein talk turned to the vampire squid wrapped around the planet, and I said something like "It's astonishing to me that 10 companies own most of the food manufacturing companies in the world". and "If you really want a rabbit hole, start looking at Blackrock....22 trillion dollars controlling a vast amount of companies." And one got a notebook and I started listing off resources, include Democracy Matters and More Perfect Union, and some other places, and I'm not sure, but I may have just added two more to the Rural Antifa Brigade. 😉

                            @DemocracyMattersALot would be interested to see how that compares in the UK - I suspect a similar, but more recent, trend.

                              @MissConstrue @DemocracyMattersALot Bazinga! The infinite revolving doors of Blackrock execs moving in & out of central banks, directing the BoC's actions in 2020, etc. Fink has been a fink forever. Ranieri didn't come up with MBSs on his own - Fink was at the '83 senate committee with him

                                @DemocracyMattersALot Steve Keen would pin the cause somewhat deeper: neoclassical economics. Until we get rid of that nothing will improve.
