Fracketeering: Life in a capitalist sci-fi horror story

Very well written, though vomiting in anger obvious. It is like trying to live in a mafia dominated town where the strong farm the weak for free money just for living their lives, it is rewiring the economy to provide a massive welfare stream to those wealthy enough to buy the laws and judges and take it away from the general welfare.
(edit)The bit about futures markets among others really pisses me off, the massive scale of the speculation investors vs the businesses hedging the price of diesel or jet fuel to keep long term budgeting reasonable , the maker class(vs the rent seeking taker class) ends up getting screwed by the manipulation and it actually makes the economy work less well.
