there is an unbalance in powers in the Western world, where big companies have disproportianal power. And this power, in their hierarchical models, is not with the people on the work floor.

This must change. We must map out to the general audience which political parties cherrish this power disbalance and are effectively against the people, how much they may claim to be for the people

"Fewer Americans eligible to vote bothered to do so compared to 2020. Then over 158m voted, this time the vote was down to 143m. The voter turnout of those eligible fell to 58.2% from the high of 65.9% in 2020.
"Around 40% of Americans registered to vote did not do so. And the number of Americans who failed to register rose to 19m from 12m in 2020. So, although Trump got 51% of those who voted, he actually got only 28% support of Americans of voting age."

#FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg , who'd been with #bankster regulatory agency since 2005, pressured to step down after disastrous #CapitolHill hearings on widespread #SexualHarassment at the gov't agency, allegations that were first reported on by #WSJ.

Criticized as a “#patriarchal, #insular” agency with a temperamental leader, female employees have described it as hostile and discriminatory environment. The ugly #HR distractions now overshadow the work of the agency, taxed with shoring up America's oft teetering #banking sector. Current FDIC Vice Chairman #TravisHill, a Republican, assumes leadership in interim as #WhiteHouse says President #Biden will send new nominee name to #Senate quickly, where candidate will surely become a #PoliticalFootball for #GOP during a fraught #ElectionYear..
