The government has tax breaks to keep mom and pop businesses alive. Those same tax breaks are exploited by companies like Amazon so they can make $11.2 billion in profits and pay no taxes.

Then there's the other side of the coin. There are laws that prevent large corporations from monopolising the water supply. Those same laws prevent regular people from collecting a bucket of rainwater.

Either a mom and pop shop get a $10k per year tax break, and Amazon get a $10 billion per year tax break. Or no one gets a tax break.

Either you get a bucket of rain water and a large corporation gets a huge lake. Or no one gets water.

or you can make it so that the laws work the way they're supposed to. proper government is possible.

No. Massively centralised governments cannot gather enough information to make those laws without becoming corrupt in the process.

things currently aren't working because every politician is either jewish or bribed by jews, not because of some inherent flaw in human heirarchy and governance.

Democracy and bribery are not separate phenomena. They are integrally linked.

It gets worse. By the nature of representative democracy those laws will most likely be written by current or former employees of said corporation.

So if it doesnt water on your crops, they're withholding the rain?

So the government is taking responsibility for global warming I take it.

There is no such thing as "a little government". This is a marvelous black pill. For every time morality wins in America today evil wins 10,000 times.

While there is life there is always the possibility of turning things around. But stories like this show how very very far away that goal is.

Anyone else think this BS law is to prevent anyone from proving chemtrails by setting up rain traps geographically and proving foreign chemicals only under flight paths?

The first 2.5 minutes of this video explain how the government plans to charge for every single natural thing, to include beneficial insects.

Fucked up shit going on in Texas but banning the collecting of rain water isn't one of them, don't need a permit either.
