Not much journalism here. Mostly recitation. A news short article with a headline promising all right wing candidates’ economic plans, which it never delivers.

After all, General Electric and ComCast are hardly members of OWC. Secondly, I’m 75 years of age. This is my second depression. The first depression benefitted common Americans. This depression will destroy us all–including the Too Rich. who think they’re immune.
