As we move into the oligarchy that has pushed democracy in America aside and elevated the interests of the billionaire class over those of average Americans, this song from Martin Kerr seems sadly appropriate to the hour ...
Thanks to Mike for alerting me to this sad gem. Here are the lyrics so you can follow along:
God rest ye merry billionaires, let nothing you dismayForget your workers families going hungry on this dayAnd save yourselves from income tax - you'll never need to payO tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greedO tidings of corruption and greedIn Washington and London-town you pay the lobby feesTo hold the reins both left and right of sham democraciesAnd keep us entertained so we don’t know we’re on our kneesO tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greedO tidings of corruption and greedFear not ye say the media, they only sing your praiseThe job-creator gave us all that's good and all that paysBe thankful for your stable-beds and don’t ask for a raiseO tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greedO tidings of corruption and greedThe Prince of Peace you call Him while you make war in His nameA man with no possessions made a shill for earthly gainImagine all the people led by men who have no shameO tidings of corruption and greed, corruption and greedO tidings of corruption and greed
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. The billionaires will enjoy theirs.
More thoughts coming.

"Imagine all the people led by men who have no shame" says it all.
Mike beat me to my comment. This whole thing is so frightening.
Re "As we move into the oligarchy that has pushed democracy in America aside"
Any alleged expert or layperson who talks about "democracy" AS IF a real democracy ACTUALLY EXISTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD (or has existed at any time in 'human civilization') is evidently either a fool who's repeating mindlessly and blindly the propaganda fed to them since they were a kid and/or is a member of the corrupt establishment minions whose job is to disseminate this total lie because any "democracy" of 'human civilization' has always been a covert structure of the rule of a few over the many operating behind the pretense name and facade of a "democracy": https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html
"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. [...]. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies [...]. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable laws of business. The world is a business [...]." --- from the 1976 movie “Network”
"We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." --- Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice
Does anyone still not see how the deadly game on the foolish public is played ... or still does not WANT to see it?
Isn't it about time for anyone to wake up to the ULTIMATE DEPTH of the human rabbit hole --- rather than remain blissfully willfully ignorant in a narcissistic fantasy land and play victim like a little child?
"We'll know our Disinformation Program is complete when everything the American public [and global public] believes is false." ---William Casey, a former CIA director=a leading psychopathic criminal of the genocidal US regime
“Repeating what others say and think is not being awake. Humans have been sold many lies...God, Jesus, Democracy, Money, Education, etc. If you haven't explored your beliefs about life, then you are not awake.” --- E.J. Doyle, songwriter
"Elites are afraid of equality, they are afraid of real democracy, and they are afraid of justice." ---Scott Noble, filmmaker

Mike - that was a great line, wasn't it?
Peggy - good to hear from you ... I just wish it was for more enjoyable reasons.
Michael - take a couple of Xanax and go back to bed. You'll feel better.
