Terrific interview. Impunity is the Achilles heel of our generation.

From Epstein’s pimping of teenagers to RFK Jr’s heroin and poly-drug abuse, to Slick Willie’s philandering, to W Bush’s alcoholism, our generation has a problem with hiding things. My friend was the first AIDS death in my town, and as he was dying he quipped, “The hardest thing about getting AIDS is convincing your parents that you’re Haitian.”

This is why there is so much pearl-clutching by the chattering caste about Flock cameras recording in public spaces where there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy. It’s all interlinked and maybe we should all engage in a little self reflection about where our generation’s obsession with impunity and lack of accountability has brought us.

David, I do believe that the problem with Flock camera data being a public record, for elites, is that they are among the exposed — not supposed to happen.

Impunity for me but not for thee.

Laws that protect elites but do not bind them; yet bind the masses but do not protect them, have stood Adams’ concept of a government of laws and not men on its head. What could possibly go wrong?

I enjoyed hearing your voice. I also commend your tact and patience. Ms Arnesen does a lot of work to pose a question.

How much time will it take for Ms Arnesen and others to recognize that the Democratic Party (the corporation) functions as an invisibility cloak for billionaire directed policy?
