I call it an addiction to wealth. It needs some sort of stops or therapy. One fix after another while we all sit here stupefied.

America endorses and enables that kind of abuse and it is never, ever enough. We have to play along with that?

The greed of the super wealthy is astounding.

It would be nice if, after the Covid19 pandemic has passed, the people who genuinely keep the engines of our economy running were to receive a decent living wage and the Jamie Dimons of the world were forced to live on only $10 million a year.
