The bellwether to tell if our legislative bodies truly are for the people and the planet is whether the Stock Market falls to the lowest in almost seventy years within, hopefully, eight to ten years from now but at least by, at the outmost, twenty years. 

Why?  Because the Stock Market rises when the following are making big profits:

 

1.     Oil and oil related industries such as merchant shipping, rigs, and pipelines

2.     Energy industries such as nuclear fission and coal

3.     Auto parts manufacturers and retailers supplying gasoline combustion engine cars

4.     Giant, especially global, insurance corporations

5.     Health insurance should have disappeared and along with them managed care corporations

6.     Pharmaceuticals (because of ending the closed US market and ending the TV promotional ads)

7.     Giant investment banking and financial corporations (especially banks that have acquired massive numbers of community banks)

8.     Defense related industries

9.     Many chemical industries (those responsible for pollution of air, upper atmosphere, and water)

10. Giant food corporations that patent GMOs and force out small farmers

11. Giant food corporations (those that mass produce meat and dairy products)

12. Domestic gun manufacturing

13. Along with them would be many advertizing and marketing corporations

14. And, finally, all lobbying corporations; organizations and politically oriented think tanks and public relations firms

15. Plus, you may know many that I have not thought of.

 

These are all industries that are  inimical to the health and welfare to the earth, all people, and all living things and creatures on land and under the sea.
