Uh, and you really think by exchanging one sock puppet with another does somehow change the truly important things?

The affiliation of the president doesn't matter that much: The "good old" military industrial complex" determines what is going to be a subject of politics. See how the 99.9% people are sold out to the 0.1% winner-takes-all on the very top, who just *buy* the politics they want.

About 80%+ think affordable social security for everybody would be fantastic. Now, guess why that won't ever happen on any relevant scale, and even tiny baby steps don't survive one party change?

The best "democracy" money can buy! :O

The base of a ponzi scheme is that an initial, small group makes a lot of money from promising a large group that the scheme scales endlessly.

Bitcoin has a *finite* amount of coins.

It's not the standard ponzi scheme in the sense that it tries to scale exponentially, but it shares the inner logic, that the tail end of many many people who "invest" into it will get less than nothing from it.
