We need to look at this from an inevitability perspective sprinkled with Murphy’s law. Adding money to politics corrupts the will of the people, it will with 100% certainty, and the people who corrupt it will eventually end up in power. Super PACs have destroyed this country, allowing technigarchs to buy elections. You can’t prove or disprove control anymore, it’s pure capital infusion. Lobbying is a scourge. I went on a trip to the heart of DC and got toured around by a lobbyist. They make you feel so relaxed and are very convincing how they’re helping as they guide you through how they work. Many others with me were very convinced and even defending the practice as necessary after my skeptical commentary. These are professional salespeople, wining and dining our politicians using corporate money. This is entirely disconnected from what is actually good for our society, is pure pay to gain. It has just seeped out and overflowed to the digital realm now. A government having a dossier on every citizen would have been a headline 50 years ago. Today it’s open and free to corporations also. We’ve crossed the line and lost it miles away. Now we have literally made up monetary systems that big banks can play with at will to extract as much wealth from solo investors, and effectively legalized insider trading and crypto scams. If prices don’t drop (which I assume the opposite), we’re heading for another world war. China will invade Taiwan in a few years, Russia will keep the land and rearm for parts 5 and 6 into Poland and Europe, the US will be forced to dig into Venezuelan oil, and god knows what else. This doesn’t feel like a bump on the road, this feels like an end to an era. I hope I’m wrong.
