I read something similar today in the fake New York Times re what the


author of the piece calls the neoliberal looting of America. The premise is the private equity firms have been gutting almost every sector of the economy with leverage buy-outs, cutting jobs, workers' pay, healthcare benefits, pensions, while taking advantage of capital gains tax rates, and effectively socializing losses through their lobbying efforts and influence. Yes, it's probably old news. Hell it was the point of the movie Wall Street.

Yet here we are fighting amongst ourselves about police brutality, about protests turning violent, and about some damned statues. Or, fill in your favorite culture war topic here. Meanwhile the truly profitable looting continues.
