Summary

This quote humorously suggests a shift in priorities and power dynamics within Washington, D.C. It implies that the influential figures who once shaped policies and plans for the betterment of society (New Dealers) have been replaced by those who prioritize economic interests and the sale of cars (car dealers). This implies a shift towards consumerism and potentially a decline in the focus on social welfare and reform.

The fiery force is nothing more than the life force as we know it. It is the flame of desire and love, of sex and beauty, of pleasure and joy as we consume and are consumed, as we burn with pleasure and burn out in time.
