Koch socialism

A small Montana company located in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown has signed a $300 million contract to help get the power back on in Puerto Rico, The Washington Post reported.Whitefish Energy had only two full-time employees on the day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, according to the Post. The company signed the contract — the largest yet issued to help restore Puerto Rico — with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to fix the island's electrical infrastructure.
Do not bother to hide the  corruption.

It is not so much that Koch socialists steal from the poor, using government power.  The real problem is that the Magic Walrus requires theft and corruption to work and we have a bunch of embarrassed economists who gave the store to the rich and are in denial.   The problem cannot be fixed except by default because the cost is priced in  via debt.
