Making the phrase "astroturfing" even more apt as it's one rich old white guy paying groups to shout at another rich not-so-old white guy "get off my lawn".
I'll put my faith in individuals but not in organizations. All organizations exist solely for their own benefit and the biggest is the worst and that would be the government.

I like buying from Amazon.
