With many years working in Washington and more years as an observer I have decided these leaders do not really lead but take the path of least resistance balancing between personal gains and public pressure.

It's best not to credit them with smart planning but to think of them like spoiled children who will get away with as much as you let them, then back to mischief the moment you take your eyes off them.

This is where a free press would act as a check by holding power to account and through aggressive propaganda and censorship they have launched alternatives and a revolution against corp power that is unstoppable now. Yaaay go us!! :~)

Too many multi-billionaires with too much power & technology to buy & manipulate govts., business, agencies, officials…. Its the downfall of humanity. Even our taxes are allowing them to screw us.

If they took the path of least resistance, they would have backed off when repeated, massive protests started months ago.

This idea, that the people who lead you into ruin are simply a bit dumb, is lethal. It protects people who are fully conscious of what they're doing, and lulls you into complacency by underestimating their next moves.
