Millions of corporate investors. Day in and day out selfishly enriching themselves at the expense of democracy, the American dream, the planets ecosystems and ensuring through their own actions nothing will be done to change it.

Sometimes I hear them squawking about how bad things have become, sometimes I wonder if they aren't one of the people who spend the only lifetime they have paying for it to be this way.
Snowflakes indeed.
