More and more, I'm reminded of a play I'd seen a little under a year ago: THE NETHER by Jennifer Haley. The play is about how society finally catches up with technology and is able to police what happens on the Internet (1/4)https://twitter.com/Pup_Amp/status/1085344587806236672 …
And that's where we come to politicians spending their time on "Thou shalt not" proclamations and acts. They need to satisfy their voter base to stay in power so they can deliver on their bigger promises to the ultra-wealthy.

Which is not to say that people like Mitch McConnel and Rubert Murdoch aren't problems. There definitely are old curmudgeons with money.

My point is more that concentrating on the ultra-wealthy as the problem hides the other layers of the problem that really exposes just this festering mess. Even if we got rid of the ultra-wealthy, this problem would just manifest through some other form.

my view of this is different. I don't think the "old curmudgeons with money" are really the problem in this context. They're a problem in a different manner, but really I think the majority of them couldn't give a shit let alone two.
