I'm an observant, no-bullshit person. So I find it incredibly hard to believe that these otherwise ostensibly wealthy businessmen (mostly men) who frequented Epstein's homes and were in his circle had no idea what was going on. He did not obscure much.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
