[GPSCC-chat] Proposed increase in San Jose Police budget from 30 to 40% of general revenue

[Rob Means]

Spencer,

I would submit that consolidation of ownership of prisons - and the 
attendant concentration of power and profit - was the driving force. 
"Follow the money" is still sage advice. The mainstream (lamestream) 
commercial media is simply the handmaiden, delivering the appropriate 
soothing message (i.e. party line) when necessary, but mostly just 
infotainment and fear mongering. If you follow the money, you will find 
that all these huge corporations have interlocking Boards of Directors. 
Which leads to corporate group-think - which dooms our planet.
