How the fuck is it even remotely legal for a politician to sign an NDA with a corporation to hide information from their constituents?

We are getting really close to needed open revolt from the people. Happening all over the world. These asshats like Peter Theil think they're immune to consequences.

We are getting really close to needed open revolt from the people.

We were already there years ago. The best thing we've had to revolts are useless protests and a couple of badly-executed assassination attempts.

I really do think the there is going to be a worldwide revolution in the next decade. If we really think about it, Billionaires are a Global problem. Things like this are making an already tenuous situation even worse when it comes to Climate Change. They have been systematically attacking the institutions that hold them back from doing even worse all over the globe.

It's a trolley problem, Billionaires on one side, and the rest of us on the other. Do we actively try to do damage reduction even if it means using our fists(and more) or do we passively sit by and just get ran over?
