@eled_nil And got politicians to spend billions of OUR money towards destroying our own homes.
@ned This is the most grotesque thing of all. Politicians are supposed to be those elected by the people to look after their interests, but instead, they have become petty tyrants

@eled_nil

Many have become corporate shills and push the corporate lobby propaganda to ATTACK government (a role they are supposed to fill), claiming that when government takes money from the corporations to spend on the public, they are "evil".

Government is supposed to keep corporations in check to protect the public, as both workers and consumers. That's why we have them, and why society deemed them necessary. Of course the monopolies want to be rid of them or better, just take them over.
