who want no government so they can control and exploit everything for profit. Hasn't been this way in the world since the dawn of stock markets, insurance, and capitalism in the era of the discovery of coal and the invention of railroads and the prominence of the slave trade.

It will be this way until lawyers or citizens are voted into power again. If it's not too late.
