Capitalism is the exchange of value for value to the--we assume--benefit of all involved. If the 1st clause of the 1st Amendment were "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion OR ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" things might be different now.

Democracy died. Fascism is here. Legal residents of the United States sent to foreign prisons without due process. Students detained after voicing their opinions. Federal judges threatened with impeachment for ruling against trumps priorities.

Not Chuck Schumer old, but old.

Old enough to remember when anti-trust laws still had teeth.

This simple list demonstrates that the real battle is between the oligarchs and the working class. Not racism. Not immigration. Not health care. The battle is between the oligarchy and the rest of us. When we finally win, we'll have a Festivus. For the Rest of Us.

I’m old enough to remember when one corporation wasn’t allowed to monopolize the market (AT&T in 1982) now it’s seems to be the goal

The current antitrust laws (Sherman, Clayton) were written over a century ago.
Some new laws may be necessary.
Write and pass them.

Unregulated Capitalism's end game is one person or corporation owning everything.
Monopoly isn't just a game.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Over the decades I have spoken at all of the service academies and War Colleges. They've all known I was "a critic" of many policies

This is a really, really ominous development

Do farmers realize Democrats aren’t to blame for this mess?

I don’t know about farmers in other states for certain, but I do know farmers in my state of California are overwhelmingly MAGA voters. They fucked their workers and themselves. Oops.
