Machine Bosses.
from Garner Isn't · host Ed Garner
Machine Bosses. You only live twice, but I have a fondness for one of America's famous machine bosses, Richard J. Daley, the mayor of Chicago. He wanted to run a city for the good of the people, even if he ordered "Shoot to kill" protesters during the 1968 democratic convention. Machine politics is insestual. Andrew Cuomo resigned as the Governor of New York State, the son of a big time machine boss. Did Cuomo send elderly patients to their deaths in nursing homes? Did he do so to stop the drain on state resources? Corrupting power. MUSIC Nancy Sinatra, John Barry, Hans Zimmer, City of the Fallen, Johann Johannsson
