57. This was a shameful thing to do.

Coming after all the other bad appointments, it is an overt slap in the face. Unconscionable.

There's only one issue to me now -- obscenely extreme wealth. It must be stopped, any way we can. Anything that cuts down on what goes to the top .1% is what needs to be done. It's that simple. I don't see how anything else can be achieved without that first. These private demi-gods have to be shrunk back down to a more human scale. Of course that goes for the oversized corporations too.
