And thus the tub was conceived. By someone who was watching people wrangling with cones.

I bought Aeron chairs for an agency I joined after the 2008 financial crash. They were from Bank of America. Six months later I found a hole in our agency's finances and we went bust.

'Deep state' could also be called 'permanent state' and means those unelected entities which hold power through changes of government.

Victoria Nuland is an example. She worked for six presidents and ten secretaries of state over 30+ years, always promoting the same war agenda. She has worked in concert with her husband Robert Kagan, who has worked as an adviser to several governments and think tanks. These people and organisations are all part of the deep state, aka security state, aka military industrial complex, as forewarned by President Eisenhower on his departure from office.
