It is somehow neither socialist nor free market but also the worst combination of the two.

It did not, in fact, change anything.

Reminds me if this quote:
"If Men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and the next place, oblige it to control itself."
James Madison

It's the classic plot where the bad guys work with the ultimate bad guy who turns on them in the end..
> If we are going to Make America Great Again, Healthy Again, etc., we must also Make Trust Great Again.
Well, the burden is on the institutions that lost our trust.
> It’s time now to move on from Epstein’s cause of death. He is dead, and that is the reality.
..why? And who does it benefit that we "move on"?
> Now we must trust that the wheels of justice are turning.
..why? Why must we, and why should we trust these institutions?

Wow. The left is being hypocritical.
Surely they will be held responsible this time..

Is it a con if people knew what was happening?
More like, "this is the greatest Democracy ever perpetrated against the American people."

The people who care already knew.

Nothing will come of it

“How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things – praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts – not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.
They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds."

We're fast approaching the point where the blessings of diversity mean this conflict spills into Western civilization.
> it's not like the people want to get rid of it but the politicians subvert their demands. polling is always supportive of keeping it.
"If you don't vote for me, they'll take away your healthcare!"
Doesn't mean people like what they have, but they are more scared of the alternative.
Again, it gives the regime more power.

Mostly control & money.
