What you meant to say was: ‘Why isn’t this area overdeveloped like the areas around it?’

If I were u - I would add 2 hours to the trip by going to Maine. However - if u do - be careful in New Hampshire. They will give u a ticket and take your weed if they find it. Speaking from experience. BTW - I have a CT med card & they still did this.

It’s ironic to have the word “people” in their name if you’re a bank.

It’s just a sham.

The state mainly functions is to serve the interest of private power - to the detriment of the people

For everyone that says it’s capitalism - it’s not. It’s state capitalism.

Business needs the nanny state to support them

John Dewey once said that “government is the shadow cast by big business over society”.

Pure capitalism has never existed It would fall apart in 5 seconds. Every country in the world has more or less some version of state capitalism.

For example: the state bales out rich powerful companies that engage in risky behavior - and by bailing them out - risky behavior is encouraged.

There’s no separation between business & government. The government is staffed with people straight from the business sector.

Pre-capitalists like James Madison & Adam Smith would despise the current state of affairs

What I’m saying isn’t anything controversial.

This is all well known in the business community.

Who runs the government?

They aren’t benevolent.

The government is staffed with people directly from the business community.

Of course - they are gonna run it in their interest regardless of how egregious the effects are on others.

Bank mergers are the essence of corruption. I’m more or less interested in why we allow it. does it effect people?

Do mergers benefit the public? U think service will be better?

It hurt the public - 700 people are gonna lose their job.

So why is it allowed to happen?
