Reading this felt like watching someone turn a foggy landscape into sharp focus, and suddenly you can see every abandoned house and shuttered storefront clearly. The phrase “being murdered” hits like a crack in polite conversation, but it matches the ache beneath your details. You write about policy and profit like they are weather systems, rolling over people who don’t have umbrellas big enough to matter. It left me thinking about how often we use tidy language to cover up the sound of something breaking.
Profit before principle. Profit before people. Profit before planet. The Almighty Profit.
You can feel the time, energy and dedication that you put into this very revealing post, Rxan. Thank you for caring. 🫶
