Of course, for the One Percent, an those who are clsoe enough to being among that One Percent, as long as some premium department store will accept their platinum Visa card, remain indifferent to how we have lost the free press, the right to assembly, the right to free speech, the right to a trail wherein we are physically treated okay until the trial date, etc.

Occasionally there is small vindication, as when I open the PM system here and find a message from some long time poster here, and they apologize with "I really used to think you were crazy, but then i lost my job, and the bank screwed me and my spouse over, and we had no way to sue them, but meanwhile the neighbor up the street had all their worldly goods confiscated because of "evil marijuana," so yeah, like I'm sorry because you got it before we did, and tried to tell us, and I laughed my nuts off at you, but well, sorry for that."

Of course I would rather have it turn out better than this, then be vindicated.

Of course I was taken down by the system before the total economic collapse of 2008. (Due to medical bankruptcy.) So I was given a "pre-warning."

Something is really wrong in a nation where a mis-diagnosis can almost cost you your life, and the hospital blanks out all the records pertinent to visits that were made, and even if they didn't do that, no lawyer will attempt to sue a big hospital chain. (Except for those "special" lawyers and law firms who have arrangements with judges, so kickbacks all around.)
