        Prosecutions for RICO corruption & tax evasion would be a good beginning.

          The Billionaire Bully Who Wants to Turn Texas Into a Christian Theocracy

          The state’s most powerful figure, Tim Dunn, isn’t an elected official. But behind the scenes, the West Texas oilman and lay preacher is lavishly financing what he regards as a holy war against public education, renewable energy, and non-Christians.

                @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.

                      @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. 😉

                      @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

                        We won't get out of this mess, not really, until we address the greatest wealth disparity America has ever known.

                        Support unions! Support labor! Tax the rich! Tax corporations!

                        America belongs to its people--all of them.

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