#3 Back in FDR's reign presidency the stories about his feud with the politician Huey Long involve stories of every facet of the Federal workforce being "weaponized" in the struggle. After FDR the presidency was limited to two terms or we would probably be stuck with President For Life Obama.

#7 Publicly Traded Banks have fiduciary interest ion their shareholders. Make their policies hurt their bottom lines and they'll change. Visa and Mastercard have the same. Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to operate without servicing all legal businesses the same?
