The teenager who robs a Kwik Mart doesn't have dark money support, influential oligarchs, bribed politicians, lobbyists, and armies of lawyers---LARGE armies---to protect him from punishment.

Read NYT today. Wells Fargo paid money, and those who actually did the crime were never punished and got to keep the loot they obtained through their malfeasance. Not a one of the Congress persons who signed on to overturn the election has even been mentioned. "We protect our own" among the wealthy and connected yields a type of "justice" rotten to the core.
I've followed your comments here Ed and have come to mostly accept your analysis and that of a handful of others here. One of the benefits / blessings I count daily for paying my nickel to learn, share, and find community here. NYT and many other sites / sources of mostly reliable, non-reactive 'news' have paywalls. I can get around some of those, but it's something of a hassle. Frankly, my entire income stream is based around SS disability only, so for my reality, fifty dollars for one thing is fifty dollars taken away from some 'need'. Understand; no sympathy nor quarter sought in this revelation, but, it is what it is and I have to get my mind, emotions, reactions and actions around that daily... it truly 'is what it is'. I count myself graced to be here on this forum with so many like minded, rational folks, and everyday on this side of the grass is a great day and another chance to learn, and hopefully practice at getting more of this 'life thing' right. Salud friend !

Thank you. This is a great forum, and we are lucky to have you here.
I saw the movie, but I never read the book.
