Broken Government

[raouldukelives]

10. We live in the most reality shareholders cannot block.

Try as they might to shield the reality of what they have accomplished, when one looks with ones true eyes and not the retina of corporate media, it is clear in every facet around us today. From our swiftly declining natural world to wars for profit to the elimination and suppression of truth to protect said profits from democracy.

From our devastated small communities and the vanishing of Mom & Pop America to giant big box stores that only suck at the arteries of them. Leading to ever more draconian, offensive and frivolous fines and taxes levied against the least of those communities to make up for the loss of revenue represented in the form of dividends to the assorted owners across the globe.

I used to laugh back when I was a kid and they'd tell me if the communist menace ever took over we would loss all our charm, all our small business and we'd all have to line up at giant, nondescript grey buildings that all looked the same to get our rations of onions and toilet paper.

When I look out across America now, that is all I see. Each with the same colors, the same floor plans, the same toilet paper on the same shelf.

The people are afraid. They should be. Unfortunately, scared people run to daddy, every time. Corporations and the think tanks and lobbyists they spawn exploit said fears for gain and voila.

The Trump generation. All glittery facades over deadly realities.

Anyway, I am rambling. Great read as always H2O.
