It's like we've gone from one of the hottest economies I'm my lifetime to an Atlas Shrugged style dystopia in a year. Best wishes reporting from Galt's Gulch Mr. Dobbs.

Someone else may have already posted this but like Orwell she was decades ahead of her time:

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed." Ayn Rand
