    Shame he didn’t do anything about it while he had the chance. What is it with us presidents and doing nothing about the important issues, and only bringing them up on their last day.

      Just a heavily self propagandized corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it’s a corporate dictatorship.

      No politician can topple the power of hundreds of corporations, and the armies they employ, backed by trillions of dollars in capital… no matter how hard they want to, even if they wanted to. All they can do is virtue signal.
