Wetmachine friend Matthew Saroff has had a string of great (if depressing) blog posts recently. This one on the truly horrifying statistics on (non) job creation over the last decade & how they relate to monopolization and the nature of the corporation is particularly compelling.

I wrote The Pains in 2008 but it's your guided tour to Trump's Freemerica(TM) today. https://www.amazon.com/Pains-John-Damien-Sundman/dp/1929752008

Pay close attention to how the political establishment tries its best to avoid the central topic & the original source of unrest in the streets— the violent, racist police forces. They’ll pretend the unrest came from nowhere & the solution is more of the same problem, the police.
If I wrote better, they would not be quite so depressing. 😉
Au contraire, Matthew. You write well, thereby making quite clear just how messed up everything is.
