I think we're now firmly placed in a corporate-controlled death spiral.

The recent Supreme Court rulings, that removed restrictions on political contributions, have pretty much neutralized our most important feed-back mechanism, the democratic process.

I don't expect that there will be any significant public action until people are gripped by the realization that they have lost everything and there is nothing left to lose.

That's not going to happen soon and it'll be a long, long way to fall.
