“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

Tell me again how Obama didn’t sell the American people out to the big banks and didn’t use his Presidency to personally enrich himself .. This is from the Huffington Post, not from Breitbart ..
—
“Former President Barack Obama will receive $400,000 to speak at a health care conference organized by the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald.”
“Obama refused to prosecute the rampant fraud behind the 2008 Wall Street collapse, despite inking multibillion-dollar settlement after multibillion-dollar settlement with major firms over misconduct ranging from foreclosure fraud to rigging energy markets to tax evasion. In some cases, big banks even pleaded guilty to felonies, but Obama’s Justice Department allowed actual human bankers to ride into the sunset. Early in his presidency, Obama vowed to spend up to $100 billion to help struggling families avert foreclosure. Instead, the administration converted the relief plan into a slush fund for big banks, as top traders at bailed-out firms were allowed to collect six-figure bonuses on the taxpayers’ dime.”
“Nothing forced Obama to govern this way. Had he truly believed that prosecuting bankers for obvious criminal fraud would cause an economic collapse, Obama would, presumably, have tried to radically reshape the financial sector. He did not. His administration’s finance-friendly policies damaged the economic recovery and generated a new cohort of Trump voters. As Nate Cohn of The New York Times has demonstrated, nearly one-fourth of Obama’s white working-class supporters in 2012 flipped for Trump in 2016. Racism and misogyny were surely part of Trump’s appeal, but not all two-time Obama voters turned to Trump out of bigotry alone.”
“Obama isn’t running for office again, but his sellout sends even uglier signals to the electorate.”
Obama’s $400,000 Wall Street Speech Is Completely In Character
Ask all the bankers he jailed for fraud.
Is the rate at which I’m engaging sufficient? No it’s not. It must be at a red bull rate for this project to succeed.

“Only mother nature, or water privatization can solve this problem.”
Mother nature solved the problem, for now .. It’s pretty funny when mother nature comes through before politicians and governments do ..
6 Years Ago
“The Orange County city used a rate structure that charged customers who used small amounts of water a lower rate than customers who used larger amounts.”
“But the 4th District Court of Appeal struck down San Juan Capistrano’s fee plan, saying it violated voter-approved Proposition 218, which prohibits government agencies from charging more for a service than it costs to provide it.”
Which begs the question. How can such a scarce resource be so cheap to provide.
“Penalties aside, the court said that tiered water rates are legal as long as the government agency can show that each rate is tied to the cost of providing the water.”
Oh right, because government water doesn’t obey the laws of supply and demand and maintains a magically low cost of providing water.
“San Jose Water Company, which provides water to 1 million people, has tiered rates, but as a private company is not affected by Proposition 218.”
Hmmm, private company … Exactly.
A government can’t take away free services. It can only hand them out. Politicians want to keep their jobs. Private companies can’t be voted out of office.
Only mother nature, or water privatization can solve this problem.
