Thots of the day from the Panama Papers Source (H/T – BLAS)

“The collective impact of these failures has been a complete erosion of ethical standards, ultimately leading to a novel system we still call Capitalism, but which is tantamount to economic slavery,” the source wrote. “In this system — our system — the slaves are unaware both of their status and of their masters, who exist in a world apart where the intangible shackles are carefully hidden amongst the reams of unreachable legalese. The horrific magnitude of detriment to the world should shock us all awake.”…their masters, who exist in a world apart where the intangible shackles are carefully hidden amongst the reams of unreachable legalese.
Methinks the above is a frighteningly succinct articulation of the code/law/public policy maze only lawyers can easily navigate. I think it could be argued that local political activism is fighting against related evils on a hometown level.
