60. Well being called to be on the side of the billionaire oligarchs

isn't something you just get away with. Are we supposed to agree with what eddie did because of that? Maybe we happen to agree with the oligarchs this time. It's not always black and white. The oligarchs might sometimes have an opinion that collides with mine. I know they are this entity all one and don't have differences among themselves ever, especially on an issue like this. It's such black and white thinking. We are forced to think the world of Eddie or we agree to all else the oligarchs want on other issues. It is putting us in a false bind.
