democratic spam and crony capitalism: metrics of dysfunction

links, etc

• Opinion | Fed Up With Democratic Emails? You’re Not the Only One. - The New York Times

  so. much. this.

• Our crony-capitalism index offers a window into Russia’s billionaire wealth | The Economist

  

  it looks like the economist dusted up their crony capitalism index. don’t worry ‘murica we’re catchin’ up. also there’s disappointingly small references within wikipedia for crony capitalism and corporate welfare.
