Every aspect of our lives are/is controlled by some ‘authority’.
It has crept up on us; i.e.
Gated communities and HOA despots. House paint, gardens and amenity use.
Local planning commissions. Garbage recycling. School assignments.
County supervisors. Private property/Land use. Property tax.
State Legislators. Auto Insurance. Income tax.
Federal dictators. Everything else.
Yeah, we’re the frog that they are boiling, but what does that have to do crony capitalism?
