corruption
A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.
How Did We Get Here (1995)
I guess in this laden British waste-scape of empty plastic bottles and chewed-up strewn gum, of blundering blue tory negligence, media-paedophiles and child sex-traffickers, Tax avoiding Bezos and his conglomerate profiteers, tik-tok celebri-troglodyte sensationalists; it's not hard to see why there is a perpetual sense of terribleness about the land. Nonetheless, I arrive upon this world as a baby five years before the millennia, dubbed as the last stairs to climb for a world burgeoning on change. I guess I was naively hopeful that it would exist as change that made my life and others better, simpler, or easier.

The President of the United States Wants to Steal the Election
The President of the United States is openly attempting to steal the upcoming election. In extraordinary comments to Fox Business News on Thursday, August 13, 2020, he plainly stated that he is blocking legislation to provide the United States Postal Service (USPS) with $25 million in emergency funding because they need that money to process the millions and millions of mail-in ballots. He has installed flunky and donor, Louis DeJoy, as the Postmaster General. Under the direction of the president, Mr. DeJoy has stopped all overtime pay and is removing mail sorting machines from post offices and mailboxes from street corners countrywide. His actions are now being reviewed by the USPS Inspector General for violations of federal ethics rules.

Corruption and the two-party system
Democrat or Republican? Conservative or Liberal? Left wing, or Right wing? Questions that are oh so prevalent in today's society, especially here in the US. With these questions we are all thrown into a box. Are you a racist xenophobe, or are you a thieving snowflake?

Terrorist Financing and Resourcing
Corruption Feeds Terrorism Sarah Chayes detailed that corruption drives the young and disaffected youth into the waiting arms of the Taliban. Corruption, as a driver and a facilitator of terrorism, is not limited to Afghanistan and can be seen world-wide, particularly in Africa, several parts of Asia, the former USSR and Latin America. The opening of markets through globalisation, and the subsequent relative ease in which corrupt state officials can immediately wire stolen money, has led to populations being disaffected with their leaders and institutions.

When Will The System Stop Failing Our Children
Look at this commercial. The inevitably sad truth is, grievously that that's all it is. A commercial. A fraudulent method to sway you into doing the right thing, being a precious baby's voice, just as you should be. All of these vulnerable children represent the millions of children that are irrevocably bound to rampant poverty, unbearable pain, and immoral neglect.

Activist-Turned-Politician Behind Connecticut’s Failed Anti-Zoo Law Exposed
There is no arguing that a little bill known as “CT-5341”, which was aimed at banning the keeping of cetaceans in zoological facilities in the state of Connecticut, died attempting to make it onto the state’s Environmental Committee’s Agenda. While the bill did get the usual praise from various animal rights groups and extremists like any new proposed anti-zoo law would it got more opposition from concerned scientists and zoo professionals who called it out for having the potential to slow down any conservation efforts that require access to resident animals living in zoological settings.
