0.000 HBD...and the pendulum swings
 Do you see the pendulum swing? The motion is binary. Limited, due to a fixed point that dictates its path from above. It will never alter course. This is how political theater works now: two sides altering momentum in a course set from above. Money is the pinch point that fastens the pendulum arm of political theater we watch now. Since corporations are people and money is speech, are there even enough civilians with large enough reserves of money to buy representation in this equation? Presidents continue policies while appeasing with expensive and marauding policy whether they are blue or red. The corporations and people buying policy control the media channels. Controlled opposition is valuable because you only have so many hours in a day. If you are busy opposing the things that are approved, you won't have enough attention capital (time) for the other issues. 🤔 It's almost as if federal politicians can poorly construct policies or kick the can down the road because they know the other party will repeal or reduce it. No one looks bad to their supporters while vilifying the "others". And the pendulum swings...
