I'd just like to take a timeout to point out that while excellent work... WHY THE HELL DO *YOU* NEED TO DO THIS AT ALL?!

Isn't this something that the regulatory bodies were created to do - specifically to notice this kind of bullshit and act in the country's best interest to protect us from same!?

We have failed. The Republic has failed. There is no Rule of Law, only the Law of the Jungle - especially for peons like us here. Every action you take from this moment on should bear this in mind. I have never been a "Fuck the fucking fuckers before they fuck you!" type of person, because I am just plain not wired that way. I HATE having to become such.

We're fucked. There will be no happy ending here; there is no going back to 'normal.'. There are only bad outcomes and worse outcomes. And we don't get to choose those, either.
