under a blanket of materialism
Given the momentum of Materialism, by the time of the European foothold in the Bahamas there generated a somewhat piratic-like market in slaves, sugar, rum, tobacco that did eventually morph into the chemical, pharmaceutical and heavy-sugar diet prevalent today via help from stock market profit-taking attitude and so forth. What a revelation! So the mass market with its advertising mind-control was born and governments long ago entered in to the monopoly game as well leading to a great deal of Big Brother, double-speak and legal loopholes for monopolists.

WITH TRUMP, NEVER BLAME ON INSANITY WHAT CAN MUCH MORE EASILY BE ASCRIBED TO BRATTY INFANTILISM

Re-do the 2020 election. ... *If Trump is serious,* then he is cognitively impaired. There is no way to accomplish the “remedies” he proposes.
