17. Did you get the last part where I said that we're an oligarchy now?

No one, and I mean no one will ever prosecute bankers for making money through crony capitalism in this country.

Unless there is some sort of revolutionary sea change where the vast majority of Americans decide that anything and everything that can be done to reverse the decades long upward redistribution of wealth to the richest of the rich, we shouldn't expect anything to change.

Money and power have cemented the oligarchs and the banks into their exalted positions.

Frankly, until we start building guillotines, they have nothing to be afraid of.
