No disagreement there. right now the corporations have all the power, and people have basically none. Whatever we want won't ever get implemented because the power structure has built a large echo chamber that supports their way of doing things by perfectly dividing the citizens to be at each others throats instead of solving the real problem, that profit >> human life, liberty and happinessThe Ballzz wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 8:07 pm"Unrestrained" being the key, operative word here!norburybrook wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 8:44 amPhil I completely agree and it's NOT just the USA, it's becoming a global thing.

And this, in a nutshell is the core of what's wrong in the USA right now. Corporations value profit over humans, and our entire political system is built around protecting corporations and their profits.
This means wages go down, required work hours go up, and the lives of the vast majority get worse and worse over time. The politicians on both sides keep raking in money from these corporations to continue to keep us up in arms over issues that are not easily resolvable, instead of focusing on making things better for we the people.
Any politician, or person that's part of the uber wealthy elite is doing everything in their power to retain this power and make us stay where we are... They are the problem...

There needs to be a balance where human life, liberty and happiness is first, and the profit happens after that.
I'll stop my rant that's derailing from the OP thread
