Donvict is out there setting the example for everyone. Just in his first year in the "job" on his second term, the guy made billions. Does anyone think he made that money because he's some kind of business wizard?

Always has been. And only gotten worse.

It hasn't been this way for ever it's slowly getting worse as the republicans accelerate the shittiness and democrats do what they can to make it better when they have power.

Outside of a short blip around the new deal. This is more or less how it's been. Our government's meddling through much of South America whether it's Panama the Dole Corporation or Ford(landia). Or our government's Middle East meddling. It's all at the behest of corrupt businesses and robber barons.

I would have said the moon because there are no people, but Elon just crashed his nonsense into it the other day. Nowhere is safe inside the asteroid belt.
