Incredibly well done way to understand how we got here i’d have to think about next steps.
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.

How Career Growth Links Autonomy and Workplace Deviance
In today’s rapidly evolving workplace environments, understanding the myriad factors that influence employee behavior has become a focal point for organizational psychologists and human resource professionals alike. An illuminating new study published in BMC Psychology presents groundbreaking insights into how perceived career growth acts as a pivotal mediator connecting job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, and leader-member exchange (LMX) with workplace deviance. This research sheds new light on the intricate psychological dynamics that underline employee conduct, offering robust theoretical advancements and real-world applications for managing deviant behavior at work.
