| Been there, done that... |
One of the great lessons learned from the 2000's was that Corporate America and Wall Street weren't quite the well-oiled machines far too many Americans had thought they were--and one of the great lessons we can learn from electing the orange clown is for all those clown lovers on the right who have been screaming for years that we should run government like a business: we are right now and it isn't pretty (here in Michigan we have been running the experiment for almost seven years now and what we have are thousands of poisoned children in Flint, a middling economy, crony capitalism,and a new corruption scandal every other day). Businesses are run by bullying tyrants who don't have to answer to voters and don't have their every move scrutinized by the press and the American people--and it's easy to see why the orange clown is pissed off on a regular basis.
When we don't like what he's doing, we can tell him to fuck off--and he can't fire all of us. Plutocracy ain't all it's cracked up to be.
When I was in college I was a business major for one semester (Zzzzz--enough of that!), and among the first words a professor I had spoke to us was that business was in business to make money, Government is in place to take care of the needs to its people--and ne'er the twain shall meet.
Electing a businessman to run America was never going to turn out well--electing a failed one (numerous times) was always going to make it that much worse.
One hopes enough eyes will be opened and we don't make this mistake again (see also, Mark Cuban).
Fuck Donald Trump,
