the one about doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.....

and the fix never took. Ten years after the active phase of the New Deal and Taft-Hartley was enacted, and here we are today. The capitalists will never accept regulation, it is antithetical to their enterprise, they must necessarily seek every advantage, lest their competitors steal a march on them. It is imperative that we end this anti-human, anti-ecological organization of production, it corrupts all it touches.
