Lobbyists.
For decades they’ve promoted the fossil fuel industry, the auto industry, the cigarette industry, the drug industry, the gun industry, any industry that hires them, with no moral compass or ability to foresee the future they were bringing to past.
Nevermind the wall between the church and state, we should have erected an impenetrable wall separating state and money. We put our nation up for sale and the shittiest people imaginable bought it.
And they’re going to trash it. The plans are being hatched and the groundwork laid for an ignorant, morally repugnant, and corrupt administration to buy power.
It was for sale but we couldn’t afford it. The American people couldn’t afford it. But those industries are paying to create a capitalist’s utopia.
99.99% of our population just opened Pandora’s box, a future where they will be ruled by the .01% of wealthy, secretive billionaires.
