  1. @kottke @ike This is not going to happen while health insurance companies contribute money to political campaigns.

    The math doesn't matter to these people. Everyone is trying to maximize their own personal profits at the cost of the taxpayer. #EndCitizensUnited

  2. @pluralistic

    "What is more important: human rights or property rights?"

    This made me think of #CitizensUnited and that even more egregious recent #SCOTUS ruling which both declare that spending money = free speech (which would only work if EVERYONE had the SAME amount of money to spend).

    It seems like another version of property rights vs. human rights, where SCOTUS supports property rights over #HumanRights.

  3. Lack of honest and serious government regulation and protections is killing us, and killing the planet. Capitalism without limits is deadly; it's no longer a theory.

    "Money is NOT speech.

    Every individual has one voice
    with which to speak.
    Money is NOT so equitably distributed.

    When the Supreme Court says that
    spending money is the same as free speech,
    they are saying that the voices of the idle rich
    are thousands/millions/billions of times
    more important
    than the voices of the working class."

  7. Pro tip for a healthy democracy:

    No race should cost millions - and certainly not receive millions from a few rich people.

    Big tech spent millions on a single US congressional race. It won’t be the last time
