1. Capitalism is...

... by definition, the control of money. That is, in NO way, synonymous with free enterprise. In fact, it is the complete antithesis of free enterprise. Capitalism has metastasized to the point where it is a stage-four malignant cancer hell-bent on killing America, and everything that once made it great. All for the financial benefit of a few hundred greed-crazed sociopaths. I'm looking at you, Koch, Cook, Musk, Bezos, Mercer, Zuckerberg, et al. You could have done so much good with your wealth, but no. Pathological greed consumes every one of you, 24/7.
Well, the piper WILL be paid. Get your affairs in order, 'cuz y'all are goin' DOWN. You'll be cleaning toilets with your toothbrush when this is over.
Corporations are determined to establish Feudalism v.2 as the only allowable economic system, and those who fight for a livable wage, decent working conditions, and equitable benefits will soon be mulch. Even those rabid Red-Hats will see the light when their wallets are empty because of these people.
