Zephyr is a very principled person, I like her quite a lot.

5y later and the world is only speeding up on this bizarre decay, concentrating more and more Heading towards a dictatorship of thoughts

What a wonderful summary of what forces are impacting everyone's lives. I worked at one company where a large retailer dictated the case sizes our company offered. It cost the company a fortune for new equipment with absolutely no return on investment or incremental business

Hey, this is what I read about recently by Jaron Lanier but in more pretentious, less credible-sounding language, far less cohesively, and apparently secondhand. This lady is fire! Very interesting, and on a critical subject. I'll be looking up "chickenization"...

Fast forward to 2018. Now Zephyr Teachout may become N.Y.'s next Attorney General!

She's running saying she can impeach Trump. I question her grasp of the situation, unless she knows a lot of info that we do not.

Yeah yeahhh, I know you're "one-clicking" on the regular

Instead of lending out to the public and businesses to get the economy moving after being bailed out banks bought back their stock and acquired their competitors.

What is amazing is that religions use the same corrupt tactics and even the brightest are totally blind to their tactics! In Corrupt countries the best resume does not get you the job, the best product does not get you the contract - wait buddy, you have to go thru us - either you pay or must have the right connections to get what you want Religions say the same thing - you could be the greatest person in the world - a Gandhiji, a Buddha but wait buddy, you have to go thru us - only our God can get you Heaven, so first you must convert Works do not matter - all you have done in your life does not matter The only thing that matters is religion Just like the Corrupt people rig the system, religions also use the lure of Heaven to push conversions Corrupt religions dominate the world! They dominate because the moral, ethical, educated seem totally brainwashed by religion

The big banks should have been allowed to fail after the financial crisis. The country would have been stronger with community banks and credit unions serving the public. I never trusted Henry Paulson and the rest of his friends from Goldman Sachs who had massive conflicts of interest put into a position of picking winners and losers.

Where are the trust busters of old?????

We've vilified them as racists

I appreciate her perspectives and lofty idealistic thought however America is just a series of large Monopolies (directed by people most Americans have never heard of ) which is the result of capitalism.,ultimately leading to everything being owned or controlled by the state which is communistic in nature and of course these two objectives are two brothers from the same mother .Her naive perspectives on America are most typical of someone who has lived just over on the better side of the tracks.

Or we can try to do something about it, For example, progressive taxation for corporations too to disincentivize monopolies.
