This in itself is, of course, a scandal that in any reasonably functioning country would inevitably lead to the government’s downfall.

You’re right, of course, that the billionaires’ all-encompassing power—especially through digital media—makes public resistance very difficult, but I don’t think that such blatant corruption, as the U.S. regime practices it so shamelessly and, above all, so openly, would be tolerated in my home country (Germany). I mean, this is literally organized crime on a scale that’s almost beyond belief. Corruption exists everywhere, but such blatant criminality in public office seems to me possible on this absurd scale only in the land of superlatives. I can’t understand how this can be tolerated, especially since it has such negative consequences for the population.
