No they don't care about me and that's exactly what the 17 SGs are aimed at. Helping those who need help, not those who have profited and benefitted from raping and pillaging the planet at the expense of the poor.

At what point will you take your head out of the sand and see what's happening in the world, or do you look no further than where to get the best cyber Monday deal?

Raping and pilliaging? LOL, who are you , Blackbeard? arrrh Matey.

Raping and pillaging aside, Government has always wanted to control people, businesses, etc, because its the only way they can remain in existence. Take it from someone who worked for a government entity (electric utility) for many years and has worked for a private IT consulting firm for the last 10. Government is ALWAYS less efficient and more wasteful than private businesses. They dont create wealth or jobs, they just suck off the entities that do. They feel a sense of entitlement, and are not incentivized to perform at a high level. They dont help the poor to escape thier circumstances, they help the poor stay in their same state, usually in exchange for votes. Government at a minimum should provide security, infrastructure, and other than that, they should just get the hell out of the way and let the private sector fill any remaining roles. It's a farce and a tragedy how much our government controls and how many of our tax dollars it wastes.
