Power does strange things to people
Power does strange things to people
In the U.S. the 3 branches of government are:
• Military contractors (Raytheon, Lockheed Martin),
• Institutional investors (BlackRock, Vanguard), and
• Pharma (Pfizer, GSK, Merck).
In the past, the left was opposed to all three industries. Now their values are completely aligned.
The “pole switch” on the political left from:
anti-war,
anti-capital, &
anti-Pharma
to:
pro-war,
pro-capital, &
pro-Pharma
in the space of just a few years,
is one of the strangest phenomena I’ve ever seen.
