A Putin envoy proposed involving Elon Musk’s Boring Company in a far-fetched plan for a Russia-Alaska tunnel: a play for postwar US business, says former Moscow Times journalist Charles Hecker.
Democracy is an illusion! It’s become a political system fostered by the élite, for the élite, in order to fool the people that they have a stake in the system.

The whole political system in the modern era, despite having noble beginnings, is now used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. – Mark Alexander, June 29, 2018
