Critics of Republican Representative Lauren Boebert had something to celebrate on Thursday.

Boebert's political rival, Adam Frisch, raised $3.4 million for his campaign in the third quarter of 2023, ratcheting up his cash on hand to $4.3 million. The fundraising was backed by more than 100,000 donations with an average of $32, according to a press release from his campaign. The announcement comes after Frisch outpaced Boebert's fundraising 3-to-1 in the second quarter, when Boebert raised $818,000 to Frisch's more than $2.6 million.

Wealth and power have always had that privilege. It's the very basis on which America was founded. Though it didn't originate in America, and predates it.

Over the centuries we've done minor things to ameliorate it. To whit those with wealth and power have rigged it back twice as hard. As long as capitalism goes unpunished however. That's not going to change.
