Its happened before. The Roman Republic fell because a very few became so wealthy they could buy their way to power, not by buying influence as now but by recruiting, equipping, paying and rewarding their own armies.

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

The content of this article sounds very plausible, but how do you deal with it, adjudicate it, in a credible, effective way in today’s environment???

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Government of Heard Island Office of the Prime Minister
To the White House,
The Government of Heard Island acknowledges receipt of your so-called "tariff ultimatum," issued under the pretentious pretense of economic strategy.
This is not a negotiation. This is not a plea. This is not a request for exemption from your performative trade tantrums. This is the final frostbitten word from a sovereign Antarctic territory that refuses to be economically colonized by a reality TV reject.
Flip off, you block-headed kiddiediddlers.
Respectfully disinterested,
PM Tuxley
Prime Minister of Heard Island
