    The problem is not that these wealthy owners and political insiders are doing this …

    … the main problem is an entire country of complacent morons that allow it all to happen, passively support it, casually ignore it, pretend it isn’t like that and vote accordingly to put these idiots or idiots like them back into power every single time.

        You are correct of course. And the answer people with two braincells would give is

        “Good we both agree its wrong, so let’s hold them to account”

      I still can’t get over the amount of open public support he gets from people in the US. It’s like we are so fucking lazy that we just absorb whatever propaganda is blinking in front of us at the time.

      Or maybe that’s what I’m hoping is the case for most people rather than being well-informed true believers.
