It Bears Repeating

"In this world, there isn't as much humanity as one would like. But there's enough."

--James Baldwin

In a government that stands on checks and balances - when those checks and balances begin to fail - the last check is the collective will of the people to stand up and demand a change for the better.

We've been here before. And we're still here.

• We can't do Green Energy because that would destroy the Dirty Fuels Cartel.
• We can't do Universal Healthcare because that would ruin the Insurance Claims Denial Cartel.
• We can't do World Peace because that would take down the Merchants Of Death Cartel.

We're allowing this fucked up version of

capitalism to make it impossible for us

to do what's best for the most.
