Part of the devastation wrought by the stolen SCOTUS seat.
Why the fuck didn't Democrats do more to stop the Gorsuch appointment?
Supreme Court takes up case that will devastate public sector unions
Neil Gorsuch holds the fifth vote to deliver a staggering blow to the union movement.
In what is all but certain to be a terrible blow to organized labor, the Supreme Court announced on Thursday that it will hear Janus v. AFSCME, a case seeking to defund public sector unions.

In one year the already DRASTICALLY too low tax responsibility for the rich and corps will be made even worse and working people will lose all rights.
OSHA will be next, unemployment after that, then Workers' Comp, etc.

(5,801 posts)most 'Muricans don't even know who the koch brothers are or what they have done--take over the country without firing a shot--over a period of decades. When I tell acquaintances about the Kochtopus (search the term) they look at me like I'm some sort of crackpot.
The kochs are running the country but most people in it haven't a clue what they have done. And of course the corporate media does little to nothing to clue people in. If the kochs get mentioned at all, it's usually merely as wealthy "philanthropists".

(100,063 posts)Our country is run by two out of control, extremely wealthy old billionaires who are bent on world domination and quadrupling their ill gotten gains. I have no doubt in my mind they provided a back door for Trump to Putin in Russia. Erik Prince is one of them and Betsy DeVos is one of them. They staged a coup and won. All we can do is sit back in horror unless we fight back and GOTV in 2018 but even then I am not as optimistic.
