I’d hazard the vast majority of corporate bastardry going on in this country has indeed been imported by US think tanks and the like; your scumbags frequently visit our shores to educate our scumbags in the latest state-of-the-art advances in scumbaggery.
But on the other hand, our potential paradise has been spoiled from the get-go by clueless conservatives.
We’re talking about the kind of fuckwits who scare people off bikes by maintaining despite all the evidence that cycling is so dangerous everyone must wear a helmet while doing it… meanwhile, for every year of life being saved by helmets, we’re losing twenty years of life to obesity-related disorders as a direct result of scaring people off bikes.
Good going, know-nothing authoritarians. What’s next? Ah, shooting security messengers, I see. Maintaining the form.
