In January I’d written about how I found myself “violently disinterested” in this year’s upcoming presidential election.
I’m still cynical about the idea that it matters who’s president when it seems obvious that the country is like a terminal patient waiting to die. In fact, I’m cynical about the idea that it ever mattered who’s president, when it seems obvious that bankers have always run the country. (more…)
