[The Urban Sombrero]

And what did we learn? That patriotism among the uber rich, no matter what flag flies above the vessel, is to the kingdom of cash, the asset emirates, the portfolio proletariat. Now, somehow, the belief is that maximum greed ultimately works for the good of society, which is strange dogma for a follower of Christ. And what did we learn? That all regulatory agencies must bow down to these Masters of the earth, that politicians must court their favor, that even the bodies and souls of human beings are but chattel and capital in their belly of endless desire for more acquisition, more wealth, more control. That’s what we learned.
