          When have the right wing moron billionaires who run wallstreet, circularly own all the media outlets and have their grubby hands up the ass of every politician whos (elected) allowed to serve, ever decided to do what’s smart? They usually let things reach critical mass before allowing any half assed attempt to solve even part of the issue.
