The hilarious part is that in 2016 Bernie Sanders told America that "the system is rigged against them". Then Hilary said, "the system is rigged against them". Then Trump said, "the system is rigged against them".
Then the people voted for those that will make it 10 times worse, again & again.

The last five decades have been marked by an explosion in wealth inequality and a growing distrust of America’s institutions.
Many Americans believe that the system as a whole is rigged against them.
They're right.

It appears the GOP has lit about 18 separate fires to their "big tent" and they have defunded the firefighters.
Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation.

After giving trillions of dollars to billionaires & multi-billion dollar corporations and pardoning perverts and anti-American criminals, this administration thinks a brown person might have scammed some government program out of a few bucks. With zero evidence they will shut it all down.

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

And the MO GOPs healthcare policies are closing more rural healthcare locations. Fed & MO GOP policies are making health insurance unaffordable. And if you do have health insurance, there might not be anywhere to use it.
It’s good to see local superintendents and media saying the thing I have been saying for years.
The Missouri GOP supermajority has schemed to defund public schools and send the money to private religious schools. This will close the rural schools in my state.

This guy used Missouri taxpayer money to sue Starbucks for harming white men, China for not sending masks during Covid even though he said Covid was a hoax, and who fought to execute a man who was found innocent of any crime.

And the incentive is for the insurance company to withhold healthcare. The more claims they deny, the more profit they make. Their only purpose seems to be to deny claims or deny coverage and stick us with the bill to further enrich the investor class.

Tenure provides protections for professors, no matter how weird or whacky their ideas might seem, so they can engage in thought experiments & challenge their students' pre-conceived notions. It is freedom of thought.

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.
