Well done! Always interesting to study the personal "histories, stories, and statistics" of big government and big biz "actions and dances" plus the official and personal carefully constructed and maintaned narratives. We live in a time like the Fall of the Roman Empire when those in power in Rome loved to trash, bully, dismiss or feared those they labelled "barbarians" who were literally bashing on their totally corrupt and efficient status quo walls and gates. Those deep inside any cozy "club" rarely can see outside their comfy walls and gates. Too much cognitive dissonance for them to realize any person outside their club has a working brain. Mean Girls & Frat Boys Cliques 101. Or gasp! the neutral outsiders might be smarter and wiser on many topics.
Really worthwhile post, a great deal here to think about, and reflect on going long rope. Thank you Eagle.
