Hurt people hurt people.

But also, the moral politics of #GeorgeLakoff explains a lot.

@mvario Of course he does. They plan to strip us of all protections.
“The term ‘regulation’ is framed from the viewpoint of corporations & other businesses. From their viewpoint, ‘regulations’ are limitations on their freedom to do whatever they want no matter who it harms.
But from the public’s viewpoint, a regulation is a protection against harm done by unscrupulous corporations seeking to maximize profit at the cost of harm to the public.”

Inspired by #GeorgeLakoff, I think the frame should be:

“Welcome to the Great Game of Chess known as #elections.

“This is your first turn.

“Your grandparents are still playing.

“It will never end.

“Your move.”
