Many economic leftists from 2012 would have little to no use for today's Clownistan politics. Not long after I, and other folks like myself, started visiting capital cities to talk about the Federal Reserve during Occupy Wall Street, those events started to get shut down in a hurry. Welfare Wall Street Queens are bad news but it's the FED who enables them as well as does what they do x 10. We can trace much of what inverts health, logic, and civilization to funds and banks that play predatory paper games to ransom countries, astroturf movements, and steal more wealth while producing exactly zero goods or useful services in the process.
