This is why capitalism has to be regulated

The profit motive has no conscience.

Leaders in organizations like Facebook lose perspective and justify all kinds of horrible behavior in the name of increasing shareholder value.

My dream scenario is that this all becomes public suddenly

The evidence that the Trump Campaign conspired with Russia is overwhelming.

The Brits and other EU nations uncover massive Russian interference in their elections.

They bring charges against Russian nationals and citizens who conspired with them to rig elections in Britain and around Europe.

And the conspiracy is so obvious that it breaks the right wing echo chamber.

Fox News has to tell the truth about it.

Hate radio can’t explain it away.

The Republicans in Congress are stampeded in impeaching OrangeTurd because of the public outrage across the political spectrum.

And they get absolutely destroyed in the midterm elections anyway.

The real investigations start in Congress and the NRA is implicated in the conspiracy. A lot of right wing operatives, including a couple of billionaires and a couple of evangelical leaders end up in prison for espionage.

The Republican Party is exposed as a complete fraud and dissolves in disgrace.

The GOP and the RW echo chamber must be destroyed

If we want to ever have a working democracy again.

RW talk radio is why some people don’t believe the truth.

They live in the world of conspiracy theories and alternative facts, promoted 24/7 by “conservative” (neo-fascist) talk radio and Fux Noise.

The FCC can certainly reinstate some form of the Fairness Doctrine to allow alternative voices on the radio.

I’d like to see some standard of veracity required before a program can be labeled “news”. Tricky, I know, but the lack of regulation placed us in the position we’re in now, where Trump lies through his teeth and 30% of America believes it and rejects the truth out of hand.

It was in the late 60s because I couldnt drive yet

My father and I were stopped at a traffic light.

The light changed and a small Triumph sports car was coming from the other side.

It veered towards us and got T-boned by a car traveling at very high speed.

The sports car was spun around like a top and almost destroyed. I remember seeing car parts flying around.

The driver of the car being chased died instantly. One guy in the Triumph was thrown out of the car and had severe head injuries.

The driver of the Triumph was wearing a seatbelt and wasn’t hurt that I noticed.

The police came flying up to the intersection just seconds after the accident.

It happened so fast I didn’t realize how close we we to the collision.

I’ve worn a seatbelt religiously ever since then.
