Re: neo-feudalism is still winning (4.00 / 5)

Unfortunately the old jokes about democracy are increasingly true.

"whoever you vote for, the government always gets in"

"if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal"

But never before has the distance between government and governed been wider. They are trending mercantile right and we are trending green left.

Vote for Nobody! (none / 1)

Nobody cares what you think!
Nobody will keep his election promises!
Nobody is standing up for your job!

Everything will be better if Nobody is elected.

- Anarchist joke

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.
