In America if you break a driving law you typically get “points” on your license. Too many points and you lose it. Also more points = more expensive insurance costs per month.

In America business and government are not actually separate. This is important to understand because it’s a structural feature of the American economy. We are a true capitalist libertaria. The government is comprised of the companies and people in business
American business is America itself and the government is a co-leader whose purpose is to facilitate American business interests.
This isn’t corruption like in the movies where you pay off crooked cops (which doesn’t really happen here). This is what businesses and individuals competing for political power looks like in a true capitalist libertaria.

All of American media is owned by right wing men or right wing aligned mega corporations. They are here to entertain and perpetuate propaganda. That’s it.
They need to still keep up the appearances of being news organizations but they are all entertainment companies now.
