Summary

This quote expresses the belief that the government, originally created to serve and represent the interests of the people, has shifted its focus towards serving the interests of corporations. It suggests that power and influence now lie predominantly in the hands of corporate entities, rather than in the hands of the citizens. This view criticizes the perceived prioritization of corporate interests over the needs and well-being of the general public, implying a detachment between the government and the people it is meant to serve.

The more you travel, the better you get at it. It sounds silly, but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set.
