As an old Marxist I've got a long list of what infrastructure and energy should be nationalized, and hell, we can't even get the hell out of corporate health care!

Fucking companies is right. I euphemistically call them Big Corp.

They be like "oh noes! covid help! our profit margins!" and congressional corporate whores just pulled 3 TRILLION of OUR tax money out of their ass and handed it over.

They're ALWAYS crying how the nation will collapse if they do.
While behind the scenes they threaten to pull their bribery-as-kick-back money.

Koch always said he didn't give politicians money on loosey goosey quid pro quo -- he said he paid them to say and do what he wanted them to say and do.
