Correct, and intentionally implemented.
We’ve went from a society of citizens, to a society of consumers, just as those in power envisioned.
Conspiracy? I think so.
Read Democracy Inc. by Sheldon Wolin if you have not yet.
Peace out from Florida.

Obama has cured me of the Democrats. I first voted for McGovern, lost hope with Clinton and Obummer. The Carter years were good from my perspective, but trashed by most as lame or should I say, “malaise?” Whatever, they seemed to be the time of greatest freedom in my life. Live and let live. Then came Ronnie and his moral followers. Gag.
I will certainly switch my affiliation to independent and most like not vote at the Presidential level for some time to come, or until the end. I will not participate in the circus duopoly. How long can this shit last?
Peace brothers and sisters.

owwfno @ 22,
I guess your bank heist idea might serve you well. I understand fed prisons are far better than the state variety.
Hope you do not have to resort to that extreme however.
Perhaps when the shit does go down, a newer and more determined group of Gray Panthers will alter the narrative.
I believe it was on this blog somewhere that one said, “we must fight with the determination of our forefathers or we are doomed.”
I really believe that when push comes to shove, we the people will not be denied.

Mine, (BCBS) stayed pretty much as it was last year. I work for a company of about 500 employees, the contribution I pay for my wife and I is approx $500 per month.
