I know, I know Ot again, but this is why Corporatism (aka, you know what) is losing.
China, who owns a good chunk of our economy is now drilling near the Florida straits, and we can’t do nothing about it or they will unload our debt
Corporatism has frozen the way we can get along in the world
Starting wars with our money to monopolize on the resources of the planet, most other countries do not want to deal with our beloved "Big Oil", because they are too greedy and don’t want to play fair and share (the profits) equally with the countries they are drilling in.
All I can say is Rock On, Hugo !, he is the beginning of something good for the poor (ungreedy) of this planet
Oh well, here’s the link, sorry for the OT Here
This should be the hit piece of the decade for the Dems, but alas, they wouldn’t know what to do with it
