💰️ Capitalism: Malignant by Design
https://persagen.org/wpi/docs/capitalism_cancer.pdf

Politics is dominated by wealth, power & influence.
Corporations, billionaires, equity-hoarding elites fund
think tanks, nonprofits, and lobbyists that author far-right
libertarian policy.

Elected governments are the front-facing funhouse:
smoke, mirrors, managed deception.

Social media movements are noise/distraction while
strings are pulled from above.

Wealth <--> protects <--> power

Jazz great Sonny Rollins dead at 95 🎷 🙏
https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/sonny-rollins-obit-9.7212051

Largely self-taught, Rollins constantly adopted new styles and sounds, calling himself 'a work in progress'

Saw Rollins way back in the day ('90s) in Vancouver - probably the best jazz concert I've seen. Legendary performer.
