    This is exactly what I was about to say - I haven’t seen ANYONE try to fix this problem that had any power whatsoever. This wasn’t ever, and will never, be solved by the political leaders we’ve elected because they’re paid off by the very companies that create the problem.

    What planet are these writers on? Do they think we don’t notice the bald faced lies they’re spinning?

Instead, let’s blow it all up and punish whoever rigged it in the first place.”

      I think she agrees with you about the politicians.
