Here's a legit question: CloudFlare, a company I'd never heard of, cost my company tens of thousands of dollars today because of its outage. But today's corporate oligarchy is an elaborately constructed accountability avoidance machine. So how can I get compensated for our losses?

My working theory based on people I've known along time and their recent Instagram posts: The Free Press has done an insidious job of telling neurotic upper middle class Jews with victim complexes what they want to hear, and it's made them all nuts.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
