I unironically love the description of one of the most successful and influential works of art ever created as a musical you once saw because your friend was in it. That's as working class as it gets.

What a fucking whinge

And this explains how the country is sleep walking into fascism. What useless limp controlled opposition.

There is a stream of thought that political theatre has no value on its own. I'm not sure that's true. If you can make a big hullabaloo about a few critical issues you drive the news cycle. Just look at the way the republicans weaponised Benghazi.

Dems massive failures to put on a big song and dance about the supreme court scandals of the last term is what you give up when you only go after cases you know you can win. They also failed to make any substantive efforts to enforce the law which is the other side of the equation. So I guess I'll admit that in a lot of cases you can't have one without the other.

Gosh it's a good thing that some rich bastard whose companies are subject to regulation isn't going to put in charge of some government position that he can leverage to quash any possible accountability he may be subject to...

Hello. Australian here. Just ask our sadistic government. We do it all the time. Hint: It involves putting people in camps.

Useless old bastard isn't he?

Matthew 17:20, NIV He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

I was raised Evangelical and yeah, my parents took that literally.

Tell that to her victims at Walgreens who grieved when they were falsely told they had suffered a miscarriage or who were told they were HIV positive.

We all know where this ends up. Remove all regulation and corporations are free to create their own conditions of employment. We've been here before. When there was no mandatory minimum leave, people worked every day till they died. When there was no universal healthcare people died because they couldn't afford treatment. When there was no operational health and safety people died in excruciating pain as their lungs consumed themselves from the inside out because PPE was expensive and their labour wasn't. When there was no minimum wage people were paid in company scrip, not cash. When there was no minimum working age, children lost limbs in doing dangerous work because they had to support their families. When there was no child protection agencies families sold their kids to farmers, pimps and bandits to pay for tomorrow's meals. When there was no food safety standards, bread was adulterated with sawdust to make up the weight. Government regulations are written in a history of blood and suffering due to the greed of capitalists. Anyone who wants to return to the 1800s deserves the social upheaval that comes with it.
