RFK Jr. says he’s “a free market capitalism guy.” I’m “a hypercapitalism has gone off the rails and lost any semblance of moral center and has to be regulated more strictly before it kills us all” kind of gal.

Marianne, you're actually complaining about crony capitalism or cRapitalism: the unholy alliance between big business & gov't--often manifested by regulatory capture: the strong tendency for regulatory agencies to be captured by the very industries they are supposed to regulate.

I always appreciate what you do, and I hope you will be doing it for a very long time, but trying to talk economic sense into @marwilliamson is a windmill that many people have been tilting at for some time. I hope you have better luck than myself.

Yeah, humanity's prevailing economic paradigm is doing such a bang up job ... on saving democracy, saving the planet, creating peace in the world. If only I were more sophisticated and realized that.

This is the take from someone who un-ironically wants to create a "Department of Peace" and doesn't see ANY problem with THAT paradigm.
Marianne, are you honoring me with a response to what I've just written you? If so, do you realize that not a word of your response responds even remotely to any of the words that I've just written you? So please try again! Cordially, Gene
