This week I dive into neoliberalism and oligarchy, 2 systems the USA has repeatedly rejected despite their current resurgence of late. The war on drugs is part of a larger move to privatize public systems like medicine, post office services or policing, and to allow profiteering by rich folks who can step in to provide gear and services for these new markets once managed and paid for by the government.
For more about Clarence Thomas 's grifts, see The Nation article here.
Read more about the call for Clarence Thomas to excuse himself in Trump ballet case here.
