Thanks for my morning “surprise”. The unspoken fact: money runs everything. To quote from the movie “The Right Stuff”: “No bucks, no Buck Rodgers”. Also “cash is king”, but the first one’s a lot more fun.
Money is simply the ability to do things at a personal level, private sector, and especially public sector.
Cash cannot be removed from politics any more than removing oxygen from the atmosphere. And the worst cash idea is government funding candidates’ campaigns, which gets floated every 10 years or so.

Look forward to your posts and your show.
