Too quick to protect mega corporations or not fine out of business or take over utilities instead of letting us just be ripped off in perpetuity?
BANKING and others as too big to fail bailouts.
Pot still not federally legal.
Minimum wage same for 16 years: SUPER DUH!
We know which laws need changed, obvious, and still nothing.
