@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

@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.

Too bad Koch Network bought the Supreme Court & made bribery & public corruption legal.
The US supreme court just basically legalized bribery | Moira Donegan
By sheer coincidence, this ruling concerns the sort of generous ‘gifts’ and ‘gratuities’ that justices have been known to accept

Inside the Koch-Backed Effort to Block the Largest Election-Reform Bill in Half a Century
Jane Mayer writes about a leaked conference call in which leaders of dark-money groups and an aide to Mitch McConnell expressed frustration with the popularity of election-reform legislation—even among Republican voters.

@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.
