Yep. This from Paddy Chayefsky, 1976, NETWORK youtu.be/yuBe93FMiJc

Corporate thinking can't really do long term. All they can do is try to get ahead of the other Corps in the short term. In the end Corporations don't want more money, they want all the money.

Putin has been whispering dreams of Empire in trump's ear all this time. The idea of splitting the world up between Russia, China and trumpistan has been the hook he has on him. Its how he got him to turn on NATO. trump thinks he needs to secure the west completely under the US.

This has a permanent place in my mind.

I think CEOs and Corporations have been growing to the size where they rival nations. And this leads to them thinking they don't need nations any more. This is where Thiel gets his NeoFeudal Corporatocracy from. Corporations have always been organized more like Feudal systems than democracies.

Agreed. We have two fights ahead of us. Beat back the fascists. And burn out the establishment.

I must be a outlier cuz I am not in my phone when I watch a movie.

Ever since the Tea Party the GOP has fallen all the way down the Two Party Trap. They have thrown everything into the pit including their integrity. They only give oxygen to things that hurt the Dems and silence anything that hurts them.
