Do you think that this time the lesson will stick? Will we stop lionizing rich, lazy, smug fucks who's protein would be more useful as fertilizer for our crops?

We have to MAKE it stick. We are at a point of no return. We have to take back control of our country, and stop trusting politicians to do right by us. They have proven over and over that they won't.

And a major part of it will be recalibrating our relationship with the wealthy. They think their money has bought them control of anything they want, and we have to HARSHLY disabuse them of that notion. We control and regulate THEM, not the other way around. They will do what's best for this nation, or their fortunes will be re-allocated to better uses.

We can't kick the can down the road any further. Time to crush the can.

It sounds like we are in agreement that examples must be made. A hot stove is a powerful teacher, and seeing a conspecific or two get their fingers burned to a cinder will serve that cause well.
