Not hegemony , just money.Yesterday I realised that the Trump slogan of America First is actually wrong. If the Trump admin really is about America First, they would have impose ld a thorough lockdown much earlier on, the US Senators wont be so worried for the pontential impact on SP500/Nasdaq index over the lives of Americans. The true slogan is in fact, America(Hegemony) First. They mistook maintaining hegemony as the core interest of America. Either that or what the politicians really care for is their hegemonial tool.
I was looking at the tale of insulin prices in USA and how things came to be the way it is. I realized ( unsurprisingly, again) that it is Corporations and Greed that was to blame. The most dangerous factor regarding US is that corruption has been legalized through "lobbying".
To put it in simpler terms, the people who got mesmerized by the economic forces that sees Companies/ Corporations as legal entities has extended the "rights" to these corporations to buy favors from politicians too. All that is required to stop it is some checks and balances.
But lobbying is working against that too.
And yet they preach fervently.
A Babylon for the new era.
