The sad part is that way too much of this country is not just willing but eager to submit to an absolute ruler IF that new king is a corporation. They're hoarding weapons and ammo to keep the jack-boot of government off their necks while happily helping their corporate masters fit the collar and chain that they will wear every day.
If socialism means not wanting to give the richest man in the world tens of billions of tax dollars to bribe him to move one of the most profitable corporations in the world to your town, then we need to start overhauling Webster's Dictionary.
"If we should require your churches remove their crucifixes and in their place mount the Amazon logo, it should be done the next day..." Are there Catholics in Fritters? I think he meant to say, "If we demand you change the sign outside First Southern Baptist Church On This Block to 'Amazon is God and Bezos is His Son,' it shall be done the next day."
Sometimes I feel compelled to drop into polutical discussions hymns of praise to Jobs. I see the jobs system as dying, and even as jobs go away we fetichise them all the more.
…or I just affirm that nothing ever went wrong with backing a powerful man promising jobs, regardless of what else he might do.
"Normally folks here wash with coal oil." Grayson should slope up to Flint; they drink it there and so would probably gladly shave their heads and their asses if there was a dollar in it.

I certainly hope that this is just the first episode.

Elevated in style or manner is RIGHT. Get HIM.

I love the shaving thread. (BTW, I'm a subscriber but I didn't actually get this one in my email today.)
