Wrecking regulation, gutting the CFPB and appointing a retail banker to run it, eliminating environmental and clean water protections, gutting oversight of food production and agricultural inspection, and being anti vaccine and pro-blanket tariffs is the overlord politics of the boss class. Fuck your health and livelihood, and enjoy open predation by big business and finance.

Democracy is a popularity contest. For better or for worse.

Always. I’m talking about being ignorant about one’s self-interest, and fully acknowledging neither wing of the Uniparty offers salvation.

The libertarian dream = socialized and taxpayer funded risk relief for big business and a laissz faire world for the peons.
