Wanna see where the US is heading? Look at Brazil
Extreme wealth concentrated in very few hands. A tiny middle class on the payroll and at the complete service of said few hands. A huge underclass of mostly POC that continues to breed uncontrollably because abortion is illegal and that has enormous and extremely violent crime rates.
The rich having ensconced themselves in high security compounds to protect themselves and ignore the masses.
In short, a dystopian society and hell on earth for the majority.

From last week's crisis - the Uvalde shooting (seems like several crises ago):
[quote]The US has become Brazil. Corrupt, militaristic right wing government changes hands every few years with an incompetent leftist faction that profligately spends money on their supporters with nothing to show for it in societal improvement. Income inequity is so enormous that an oligarchy lives in five star hermetically sealed maximum security compounds, gating off the poor while mocking them through those gates. Evangelical grifters work over rich and poor, forming an unholy alliance with the militarists. Guns, sex, gangs, drugs, pollution, environmental destruction, escalate from social problem to toxic subcultures. Media is a circus of sensationalism, owned by the oligarchs to dazzle the masses. Just another shithole country.

They've been working on that goal for 50 years. We're edging back toward serfdom.
No more middle class, but most crusty poor old whites have been tricked into believing that black and brown people have taken something from them.
If Thomas gets everything he, his donors and his wife Miss Millie want, it will disable any power that unmarried women, gays, and some people of color had.

Don't forget all the women with hair the color of ice cream popsickles. A trend I am beyond SICK of.

R4, that won’t stop him. Friends and foes both think that he would sell himself into slavery once his work on the court is done.

I hope Canada is able to avoid becoming like the United States in this respect.
