What were people thinking? Apparently, they weren't. This anti- government attitude is pervasive in left and right circles. They forget people like them serve in the government - at all sectors. Corporations are not held as accountable. Corporations are subject to serving investors. Profits are made on the backs of workers. Place the focus where it belongs. Who is serving the corporations at the expense of the workers and at the expense of environmental destruction? Walk gently on the earth and remember supporting community is more important than shopping and consuming and too much couch potato social media surfers spreading hate and distrust.
