JPMorgan Intern/Altar Boy: “Oh Learned One, what is the free market?”
JPMorgan Head of Global Markets/High Priest: “Well, young grasshopper, the free market is Walmart, upon the board of which sits Her Holiness Hillary Clinton, colluding secretly with another multinational corporation, Amazon, that also pays no taxes because their scheming accountants know all the tricks denied to the peasants, in order to rig the price of consumer goods so as to maximize their profits from said consumer goods made by slave-children in Indonesian sweatshops, all while the Department of Commerce looks the other way because the Secretary is promised a lucrative board position himself after his departure from ‘public service.’”
JPMorgan Intern/Altar Boy: “I see, Oh Learned One. Blessed be the free market.”
JPMorgan Head of Global Markets/High Priest: “Blessed be, my boy. Mind your baby before it gets cold.”
JPMorgan Intern/Altar Boy: “Yes, Oh Learned One.”

JPMorgan Intern/Altar Boy: “The infant nectar is ready for harvesting, Oh Learned One.”

America, in 2026, is a free market in the same way a company town with a company store was one — anti-competitive, monopolistic, extractive, even fascistic, one might say.
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”― Benito Mussolini
No blue-haired Marxist college student, if he tried, could hate the free market more than Walmart and Amazon, except maybe Blackrock, as evidenced by only the latest corporate malfeasance brought to light by litigation.
Via LA Times (emphasis added):
While researching this story and the deep well of corporate malfeasance from which it springs, I came upon this illuminating chart from the fine people at Statista, which plots corporate profits across time highlighting the same perversions of the American “free market.”
In it, you will note a massive uptick, incongruent with the regular pattern of steadily rising profits, between 2020 and 2021.
What, that data anomaly begs the question, was happening in 2020 that would have boosted corporate profits by $1.3 trillion?
What was happening: If you, as a small retailer, didn’t have enough cash to bribe the right people in government making Public Health™ decisions, your small business, which may have operated for generations and served as a staple in the community, got shut down — with a vengeance — and it never reopened.
For COVID safety.
If, however, you were Amazon or Walmart, and Hillary Clinton sat upon your board, you not only got to stay open as an “essential retailer” — you gobbled up all that business denied to your former competition by the state.
Just more of that glorious, sacred, American “free market” in action.
