If you really want to understand how power works today, it’s not controlled by ballots—it’s driven by algorithms. This is worth a watch. It shows why billionaires are an existential threat to democracy—and what some of them really think about progressives.

Let me get this straight. The GOP believes Human Trafficking that they hear about, without a shred of evidence, on radio talk shows & podcasts.
