Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.

The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings — so it can lease space more expensively — and the real estate company of the California senator’s husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in commissions.

Blum’s company, CBRE, was selected in March 2011 as the sole real estate agent on sales expected to fetch $19 billion. Most voters didn’t notice that Blum is a member of CBRE’s board and served as chairman from 2001 to 2014.

This feat of federal spousal support was ignored by the media after Feinstein’s office said the senator, whose wealth is pegged at $70 million, had nothing to do with the USPS decisions.

so its painfully obvious the government is a major extortion and bribery racket,
the major business are also an extortion racket for the owners and executives (banking, insurance, energy, industry, commodities)
lots of public private partnerships, no? at least on the personal level between higher ups
is it that far of a stretch to consider certain entities like the cocaine importing agency, funny its actually slag for them in certain circles, make sure the spice flows? because its been about keeping the spice flowing, for quite a long time.
data proves beyond a reasonable doubt that when things are fucked with, bubbles blown, markets go up and then go to hell - that there's a select few that make out like complete bandits - the whole " gee the "wealth inequality gap" is at its highest extent ever"...because its done on purpose, no differently than george soros making some billions fucking with the pound. but even that his name is seen means he's small potatoes.
