    90% of what is moving through the economy is corpo money anyway.

    Yes, this is the system we’re in by design. The idea is that the private sector can get cheap loans and other handouts (government contracts, private-public partnerships, etc) for organizing the economy and will pass some of that money onto us commoners in the form of wages. It was designed like this because the politicians and their donors believe that it is more productive to organize the economy this way.

      yeah, i’m not debating the functionality of the current economic system though. It’s definitely up for grabs i suppose.

      Mostly just pointing out that even in our current economy we don’t really have a good excuse for most of this shit.
