It was written by wealthy white men tired of paying taxes to Great Britain across the sea. Our constitution is 240 years old, the world's oldest. Wall street? Big Ag? Pharma? Hell no, not the bottom up, systemic rebuild that is required. No universal healthcare, no Green New Deal, no serious rethinking of our white supremacy laced police departments and wildly overblown military. Joe Biden and the new administration won't do much to end this longstanding corporate scourge. And they come with balanced priorities, and a far greater likelihood of being invested in their communities. Partnerships, coops, small businesses and individuals can harness the capitalism needed to provide goods and services. And with their demonic need for profits at any cost, they will always inherently stand in the way of a healthy culture. The corporations control the government, which sets the standards for a healthy culture. The system is crystal clear now for those with eyes to see. But I know with certainty, and not me alone, that today America is Land of The Corporation. Indeed, America was ever truly 'Land of the Free, Home of the Brave' (a slogan termed by Francis Scott Key) unless you were a white man of means. Joe Biden's 'build back better' is complete bullshit. Even in a more stable and less corrupt moment, we can't truly go back. There never is, as this moment continues to separate future from past.

Were the system not so rigged Bernie Sanders could well be president, and we would be far better served for it. Yet our supposed solace is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We seemed to have left that behind with so many other illusions we've held over these long years.Īt least we have avoided the greatest immediate threat, that Trump would succeed in his attempted coup. Land of the free, home of the brave? Not so much. In our families conflict and way too much pain in our personal lives. The COVID is full steam ahead, the country is in shambles, there are so many hungry and homeless, the President won't leave, the climate is in chaos, ecosystems are collapsing, pollution of every sort everywhere, and of course these are just the catastrophic symptoms.In our communities of whatever sort, we find brokeness.
