gleeaikin :“When it came to government, I wasn’t aware of how corporations have literally taken over almost all the agencies of government.
The response to COVID was controlled and conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, with probably even bigger powers behind them.”

Isn't that the very definition of Socialism/Totalitarian government ?
The problem is the incestuous relationship between the "watchers" and the corporate empire whom they were supposed to watch,
which means, ultimately, that you can trust neither !!
The "watchers" have all been 'bought out',
sorta like our _resdient who has already sold his soul to the high bidder

The lines between government and big business are now completely blurred.
