The Rise of the Corporate Machines

Damn, I lost a longer reply, Trans Pacific Partnership something something Argentinian debt something Wall St something something United Fruit Co. Oh well.

Most important for Albertanians is what happened here in Richmond, a town in the north SF Bay with a Chevron refinery giving the town its unique Mordorish pall. Chevron (brother of Sauron) made a naked power grab for the City Council, putting Citizens United-level millions behind their hand-picked shills. Got their oily asses kicked but good, through the simple device of transparency. Turned out the citizens of Richmond really didn't approve of a corporation taking over their town, once they knew who was backing the greasy minions.

Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield.
