Interesting. When does a 'business idea' become an 'illegal racket'? Is this another sign of 'late stage capitalism'?

Not here to defend capitalism, but thats like, every idea to enrich ones self since the beginning of time. Early colonialism wasn't capitalism, neither were viking raids. Too broad a definition. Late stage capitalism isn't the first appearance of powerful people screwing everyone they can get their hands on for more power.

Not to be philosophical, but in economics and business, there are activities which can be mutually beneficial to all parties involved, and then there are scorched earth activities that leave everything in a worse mess than they were originally. This is one of those.

More of a matter of what Lindsey Graham said about why he kept blocking popular legislation in the Senate when he was Majority Leader.

"Because I can."

That's not an acceptable answer for doing anything that fucks over people.

Uh... when was Lindsey Graham ever the Senate Majority Leader?

Hopefully never.
