...about the collapse of 38 Studios, which got a $75 million loan guarantee from the state in 2010. I agree, only a dunce would invest $75 million taxpayer dollars in a start up headed up by an athlete during a depression in a state with a toxic business climate.
Another monument to Amerikan fascism... Nice k. Now how is this fascism?
I'm glad you asked. The original term was coined by Benito Mussolini- fascism being the combination of words federal and capitalism- so, essentially federally controlled capitalism.
I'm using the word according to its origins rather than the Orwellian newspeak you may be accustomed to.
Now there's a bit of license in the sense that we in the USA also have supposedly sovereign states but I wouldn't be surprised if the loan was ultimately backed by the federal government anyway.
New London and Pfizer have a huge multi-million dollar empty field that used to be a neighborhood. That's another great example of Amerikan Fascism.
