I'm starting to think that the big mistake we've made is relying on competition to regulate price, thereby making anti-trust measures vital.

Scott Bessent compared AI executives begging for regulation to Hannibal Lecter saying stop me before I kill again. Scott, when the killer asks you to stop him, you stop him. Instead Fuckface is relying on their tremendous self-policing and his own High IQ.

These close races showing such a split is the exact reason why more countries will continue to divest away from relying on the US.
The US is always one election away from electing another demented fascist with a bunch of submissive party members in Congress.
The pendulum swing is just too crazy.

That is a bullshit lie. More and more, they are relying on nothing more than claiming "Biden did that but we're trying to fix it" and more and more even their own base is seeing it's untrue. Even if you believe it started bad, it's observable when everything you do makes it worse.

We must alter the Levers of Power to respond to our dissatisfaction more often than once every 4 years. And let's quit relying on the unlikely chance that politicians will hold one of their own to account.
This election is the 1st step. Then we litigate thru the holidays, & get justice in January.
