If Wikipedia is right, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is not a direct descendant of Eleftherios Venizelos but a great-nephew—Venizelos was the uncle of Kyriakos’ father Konstantinos Mitsotakis (b. 1918), born in Khania (where Venizelos was from and is buried).
The following caught my attention and many of you may agree with my observation:
“..The government has rules, for instance, that products such as aspirin [liquor] and other painkillers can only be purchased at pharmacies [state liquor stores]. The bureaucracy also rigs all the prices...”
Recently in the state of Washington there was an election where the state liquor stores were abolished. Now I can go into any market and buy a bottle of booze.
Surprise! The prices have come way down.
So, do you live in a state with liquor control, such as Washington used to have? I know Pennsylvania used to; are there any others?
We need a statement in the constitution that says:
separation of state and the economy
separation of state and businesses
It's not true at all! Well, maybe only a little.
OK, it's true. But about that "Democracy" part - we have to talk.
Once again - a nation ultimately gets the government it deserves.
Ask yourself - what kind of government does the USA deserve?
