Exactly true ..but ,..they dont want us to have a choice !!
Also , as Dr thune stated : they dont want to protect us ,
They want to protect their monoploy ( think economic/ profit motive).
E. Pluribus Unum :"We want "sustainability" when it's impossible.
When it is possible, we want it outlawed."
A recent example is what is happening to the "Gasoline /Energy" and the "Coal Industry"
Create a current unreachable guidance goal , hide it behind current unachieveable technological goal,(none of which is COngress controlled)
then chide the industry for not reaching those guidance goals ,
resulting in fines ($$) to discourage those who remain in the industry FROM PERSISTING !!
It is government controlled "Cloward-Piven"
I get that. I also "get it" that Keynesian economics and treating government -issued money as a commodity is a problem. But there are two sides of the coins...dems and 'pubs....and neither side comes even close to representing anyone, globally, except the top 5% or so of the world's population.
The question is, how does it change? I fear the answer to that question.
