This could be this decade's Citizen's United. Neo-liberalism especially among the court has been whittling away at the economy of regular people and the ability of the government to regulate business since at least the 70's. Privatization never stopped or even abated, regulatory capture has been common, and businesses themselves write the bills for the congresspeople whose campaign they bankrolled to pass quid pro quo. We already have a severe lack of regulation and now we're going to have no regulation. We just handed the entire country over to a class of gangsters whose morals are exactly the same as Donald Trump's but wield a much greater degree of violence domestically and worldwide.
