"They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation." - George Carlin
It is so nice to see someone else who quotes Carlin. I often do the same and wish more people paid more attention to what he was telling us all those years ago. For those of you who don't know, look up; Carlin, Dumb Americans.
And now we have an education system focused on producing a generation of software engineers and doctors who don’t know how to actually read. We need to bring back a humanities-centered education. Everyone should come away able to read and think critically and abstractly about the broader world and their place in it.
@@ankhpom9296 THey voted their fiery leader into the White House. Inauguration next week. /s The problem is that the herd is stupid. If they were smart, they would have never allowed media to be taken over by oligarchs and never would have voted in a silly failed b-movie actor as president when the ball of neoliberalism got rolling. The failures have been compounded over decades, and haven't stopped. Don't expect somebody like FDK to just pop out of nowhere. The Democrats had their chance with Sanders, instead they allowed their sponsors to kick him out.

Good! Hope the rich eat the rich and bye bye arrogant Sedona!
I know what you are trying to say and I am just as guilty but this is the exact same passing of the revolutionary buck you're claiming to hate. Revolution hasn't started because people fear the consequences and want to wait until there is basically a revolution outside to join
There’s a lot of innocent murder and people will be out for themselves. A revolution with no “ spiritual “ awakening will just end in a dictatorship ala Soviet Union .
My parents had lower paying jobs than my wife and I and still sent me to private school, owned a home. Vacations, retirements, savings, nice possessions. An entirely different standard of living. No degrees, just one union job and my Mom worked OCCASIONALLY. On and off. If my wife didn't work, we'd be homeless and starving. Something is very wrong.
Same here. My single non-college-educated grandma managed to send my mom to private school and college which directly landed my mom in the economic position to have me and send me to private school for a bit. My mom was also a single parent and only occasionally needed support from my grandma. Yet here I am 24 years later: a working college-educated male with a working college-educated partner by my side doubting if we could _ever_ raise a kid. _Period._ It’s gotten so bad we’re genuinely considering packing up and moving abroad. It’s getting wild out here.
@@genericsomething I've moved to Uruguay and found it to have the stability and opportunity that I was looking for. If it sounds too good to be true, ask yourself if you've ever wanted to go to Uruguay. If you know anyone who has ever gone? It's boring aka calm, stable, tranquil. Keep your chins up. It's out there. Not every place on earth is equally bad. Bad news: This is not a phase, period, or cycle. There will not be an upswing after this. We are living the upswing. The down will be what we live in perpetuity going forward. Raising livestock in boring rural Uruguay isn't so bad, right?
Exactly right. My Dad was illiterate and Mom had only an 8th grade education, Dad a union truck driver and Mom worked in a factory that had profit sharing. They didn’t invest in their children, telling us we didn’t need an education to make it. They ended up retiring very comfortably. I ended up with chronic illness that broke me twice now I live in poverty.
@@MarcoMasseria- Not at all! Raising livestock there, a clean, nutritional source of meat, add clean grains, fruit, veggies.

While you still can! ❤😅
Being radicalized and thus thinking trump is the savior? The ultimate hater of anyone not a millionaire, is going to save the little man and the middle class. This is how many think. People want to be radical, but still get their social security and Medicare when the time comes. They can effing forget that with trump.
Born in '60. My dad was a union member. My parents could afford for my mom to be a stay-at-home, and me and my siblings to attend Catholic schools and university. Just because I studied engineering and my spouse studied business we have been able to live a comfortable life for ourselves and our children. But life is a lot worse for folks who didn't end up in the top 5-10%. Counting on your children all going to a top university and getting a STEM degree isn't viable for everyone in the nation. Anyone who works a full-time job should be able to afford a life with dignity. By traveling to Europe my family has all seen how life can be different. But any talk here of a social safety net is seen as socialism.
He's a modern day Robin Hood, and there will be many more "Merry Men" flocking to his cause... hopefully. If decades of peaceful negotiation hasn't motivated these parasites to change their ways, there's one language everyone on the planet understands. Fear.
That is a wrong way of thinking - no one is corrupt because every dollar spent grows the economy - the only issue is that old people spend less, so money you give old people is wasted, it is thrown in to a bank or savings account and lost in the system. You need to give money, tax cuts to YOUNG people and not to wealthy old people. The entire tax system needs to be adjusted to change tax based on wealth and age combination. Lower taxes for young people will boost the economy - lower taxes for wealthy old people is a total waste.
@drscopeify That is wrong thinking. Hate for the elderly many of whom had been working and struggling for their whole lives to live in poverty in their final stage. That's immoral. And the wealthiest are NOT spending enough to help the economy. It's just not true and in contradiction to the facts. Stop hate speech and dividing people. We rather need solidarity.
"We" have never lived in a society to beginn with. I feel there is a hard limit for the number of individuals who can form a meaningful society. You can remember the names of your tribe members or a small settlement and there's a high chance that you share some form of experience with them. In a town? No way, mathematically impossible...all those thousands and millions of people are basically part of a scenary to you just like trees in a forest. "Society" is almost like a religious term, there's more evidence that people give a s..t about each other than the opposite.
The next day after saying this, you lost your fire, hung your head, shuffled your feet, and went to work, playing on your phone when you got bored. You didn't "go" anywhere.

Citizens United is the second worst judgement in the history of mankind. The worst judgement is the one to crucify Jesus Christ. With the Citizens United judgment the SCOTUS crucified a vibrant democracy. Today the USA is more like a centroid of a triangle whose three vertices are Oligarchy, Kleptocracy and Plutocracy. Sad reality is most other democracies around the world are also on a similar trajectory.
@@anEyePhil the part of the 2nd amendment they fear most is the miltia part which is why they have put so much effort into disrupting the formation of organized citizen groups, both in law and more subtly into our collective psychology.
Same story huh? Why? Maybe apply some grey matter to that... History did not start at WW2, WW1 was only 20 years before, someone invaded Germania and it was not Germany. The exact same script was used on TV for all to see for the last 2 years... Replace AH with Mr Z and you get a very different story to that told... Boris even tried to revive the Churchill role and failed as it was too obvious, lol. America has been destroying/AMERICANISING the USS GB since we gave them it, if you still do not want to believe watch 70's US crime TV and then look out of your window...
You just explained americas current political reality without mentioning a single polarizing point and I commend you for that! It’s not left vs right it’s rich vs working class.
And it has been since the goddamn colonies: Plantations? Slavery? Land grants to wealthy English families? A political system composed exclusively of white, Anglo-Saxon, (iron law of oligarchy) Protestant, men? Child labor? Working conditions in the industrial north that would make your hair stand on end? Yep. It's about CLASS. It's has ever been thus.
Yep, as an engineering contractor with experience working with the top managements of many companies, I have to agree, the rich are getting richer at the cost of the rest of us. I have had customers who think nothing of owning a small fleet of high price cars tell me that my prices are too high, that my employees' wages are too high. They understand that paying fair wages and making life affordable for the rest of society means less money for them, although most of them will never ever be able to spend more in their whole lives than a small fraction of their financial assets. If they haven't increased their worth by at least 15% in a year they count that as a bad year.
Nope. Things have changed. What you describe has always , ALWAYS been the case. No rich class or cliche have ever acted to reduce their wealth accumulation or share their unearned income. Never. What we are witnessing in the USA (and elsewhere to a far lesser extent) is the total capture of the economy, public realm, entertainment, political and legal process etc etc....by a tiny number of individuals many of whom (Zionists) have zero interest in America's future. This is coupled with intelligent Americans gradual realisation that the myth of 'exceptionalism' was a dangerous lie (the re-appearance of China on the world stage & BRICS). THAT'S the REAL crisis in my opinion and it looks terminal unless Mr. Trump is a sort of magician. 'The rich getting richer whole the poor get poorer' is just a sort of slogan designed to engage the non-political in politics. The real problems lie beyond that necessary alarm call.
It’s always been this way but the gap of wealth & the standard of living has both greatly increased for the rich & the standard of living has dramatically decreased.
There is an interesting psychological phenomenon called "relative deprivation", where very wealthy people feel poor because they are less wealthy than those around them. So it's possible for people who would seem to be incredibly well off to any outside observer to be obsessed with increasing their wealth further because of how they feel relative to those around them.
Unfortunately we dont want your expats. They are destroying our nations bringing with them their sick warmongering elitist progressive or neocon ideology. These so called expats or migrants from the west have already destroyed Prague and Warszaw….
The resurgence of unions is not only critical for the workplace but also for the unification of people of all backgrounds in general. Along with massive deregulation the first thing the elites attacked was UNIONS for that very reason.
@ Is that what Reagan's corporate cabal told you? lol Labor unions have been absolutely critical for the American worker since the early 20th century. Its also reminded the American people that we are "one" and stronger when we unite. That concept has been lost since we've allowed big business to use the media to dismantle it with propaganda and nonsense.
Not Trump. That was the whole reason for the media war and Lawfare on Trump, was because he could not be bought, he refused to be a cog in the political machine running the country.
With full and absolute immunity under the dRump regime bribery will become a *requirement*, like in other corrupt developing nations. The US is about to devolve rapidly.
@@RichardGriffin-b9n It's doesn't matter what side does it, people like you justifying it with Trump or Biden is the reason why Billionaires are willing to replace American citizens for valuable jobs. Instead of being sheeple why don't you realize we're getting fucked by President Musk and his First Buddy Trump.
I lived through a civil war. What I can say is it was completely unlike anything I could have imagined. I always think about a couple I knew. The husband, active duty military, was shot and killed. He was shot in the back, curious at most. In an area of no guerrilla activity. Eventually it was determined he was shot with an Army issued caliber. The chilling thing was two days after his death, the widow started getting visits from one of his army colleagues, who started to put the moves on her. She told me she could look at him and know he did it. Civil fracture unleashes devilish behavior that you would never think of, until it’s all around you.
My parents were children during WWII and experienced the chaos and anarchy that comes with war. My mother used to tell me that the worst thing about war is that it brings out the worst of people. I think the same can be said for violent revolutions.
@ Yes, I agree. People sleeping in warm beds who think that violence will improve things should think long and hard about the viciousness that would be unleashed upon them in such a situation.
Just wait. The Christofascists simply cannot wait to impose their brutal religious edicts onto the entire nation. Christian love, wrapped in the flag and holding an AR-15. The next decade is going to be dark. And at the nation’s 250th birthday too. 🤦🏻♂️

Since Luigi's "Deny, Defend, Depose" manifesto, I said America is due for a revolution. Let's keep talking about Luigi and what he has started. Thanks ❤
We wait for him to move in our direction with gifts of financialized gold. Times have been a bit rough as of late out here in East Hempstead. My neighbor Margot McBride Winchester lives in a semi-dilapidated turn-of-the-century mansion not far from the waterfront. But, with those often ignored reports about climate change, the high tidewater comes along to flood her cellar, especially in the springtime. I saw Margot leave her old manse the other morning with her son. I don't know where she was supposed to take him, but word from another neighbor was how she left him on the side of the road, in front of an old farm house. The reason being was that supposedly he was complaining about not receiving his usual yearly Christmas gift of caviar laced body wash and the annual winter trip with Banana Republic Barron to their palatial estate in Grand Cayman. After this abrupt drop off, Marlot continued on in her old rusted out '89 Mercedes to the center of East Hempstead to attend her weekly ben wa balls training session with the great great nephew of Andrew Carnegie. After the session, she received her weekly botox injection. Many grand dames and expensive hand bag harlots out here on Long Island cluck and gossip about how Margot has received too much botox and plastic surgery and how her face resembles that of someone who's been stung by a swarm of yellowjackets and wasps. And, unfortunately, I would have to agree with them. Margot looks to be a bit on the rough side with all that's been going on in our wealthy enclaves. I'm not afraid to say that I shed a tear when I hear of her misfortune. And hopefully, the winds of change will blow through our little Long Island hamlet, and number 47 will be the goose that lays the golden egg for Madame Margot McBride Winchester and the many others who are just like her.
You are so wrong and morally blind. No matter how bad Luigi thinks of the man he murdered by shooting him in the back, he absolutely has no right or privilege to make himself a prosecutor, all 12 jurors, the judge, the federal court, circuit court and Supreme Court, plus designating himself as the rightful executioner because he is so correct and courageous to be all of the above. ALL who cheer him are abdicating their responsibility as individuals redirecting the right of others as well as a system of justice system, plus other means to correct wrongs in a society. He is a coward and a murderer, not a hero as many who unfortunately felt that he were one.
As someone who has visited Native American reservations, inner city ghettos mostly comprised of Black and Latino Americans, and homeless encampments and personally grew up in a rotting Appalachian mining town, I have a very low view of this country. And believe me, it didn’t help when I got into college and started traveling and seeing not only the luxuries afforded to people in other countries but also the privileges given to _other communities in America_ who happen to be a part of the higher castes. My friends, family, and I have seen the writing on the wall for some time and desperately want to move to Europe or Asia or anywhere with healthcare and education and less existential threats to our safety yet no matter how hard we work or how much schooling we get no one I know can make it work. We feel trapped. Like there is no leaving this place or advancing our status here and yet it’s suffocating us. That leaves only one option.
Bro, this sums it up perfectly. I'm Gen-X. It has always been a struggle. Even in the six fig incomes you had to live where that pay gets eroded by health care costs and depredations of the tax systems the state. The rent is high as well. Forget owning a home. The industry I'm in is so chaotic that I've been out of work many times just because client work disappears. Then I get hired back. The employers can be hit or miss as well. Since I'm in the wrong demographic, I'm last pick for any job nowadays. I've seen who they hired after my interviews -- way less education and experience than me... but very easy on the eyes -- if you know what I mean. The biggest companies are the worst. DEI and harassment training that sends the signal: you're the bad guy and you'll never advance in this company. I had people promoted over me who were vastly less qualified. Most of the long-term people left and they didn't place me in any position I more than merited. But they did place other demographics in all those positions. My dad died without leaving me any inheritance. His company went under right after NAFTA was signed. After that, he worked in other companies but never seemed to save anything. Married a vvoman who made more than him and lived off her money in his retirement. He did sincerely love her.
@michaeldavid6832 I moved back to Ireland where I now own a house and have a pension. Access to free healthcare if I really needed though have medical insurance which costs next to nothing. State pension at 66 is 300 dollars a week. Californium is great in your 20s but it's not really a long term option.
There is welfare for elderly and disabled. Many states have free healthcare for poor people. But the poverty threshold they hold you to is very low and even as disabled it is difficult to get the welfare because they systematically deny you and you need a lawyer to get it but can't afford a lawyer because you're disabled and poor.
Yeah but I got my motorcycle, ATV, Lexus, big screen tv, motor home, $7 Starbucks coffee every morning, eating out 4 times a week where did the money go???
Living through 1970’s Northern Ireland I’ve personally witnessed how easily and rapidly society can descend into armed conflict when triggered by oppressive political hegemony. There’s nothing exceptional about the US that prevents similar conflict.
There is, actually. Ther sheer, mind numbing number of security forces that have been established by the tyrants to keep the rabble in line. Local municipal police (city/town). Local sheriffs (county). State police (state patrol). State special police (state bureau of investigation). National police (uncountable agencies - FBI, Homeland Security, ATF, ICE, ect). Military reserves (nat. guard, reserves, ect). Active military. And I'm very likely missing ten or so steps between city and national security forces. All of THOSE have to be neutralized or turned before the country can begin to affect its leadership. The billionaires will simply take their dirty money and run to a tax haven country where they'll hire private armies just to hold onto their stolen wealth.
@@amzarnacht6710But what happens when the aristocrats are no longer in charge and those who overthrew them want to defend themselves from their security?
Unbelievable. For decades even we, Europeans, looked at US with admiration and envying them seeing the middle class families living with huge possibilities, future and values. Well that is GONE.
It went because instead of increasing wages over the decades ceos and shareholders decided to give themselves more and more until they were sickeningly rich so price of living, houses went up and up and up and workers were on the same wage they were 40 years ago and couldn't afford house, food.
I would add that a if a lot of us "Europeans" (Most people here do not use this term for self reference and refer to their own nationality) admired America it is because we were brainwashed by the same propaganda the Americans were brainwashed with. America the great, land of the free etc. Ever notice the more a country feels the need to refer to itself in such terms the farther away from them it actually is?
They don't mind a race war. They like that, they PREFER that! Class war is what they fear most...We are all equal. This is the BEGINNING. Equality for ALL.
The increasing frustration and anger of the American public, married to the desperation of poverty wages and price increases with no end in sight will eventually create a mob of Lugi's. The warnings are all here that We The People are edging closer to a true revolution. In the late 30's FDR came along and forced the issue. The question now is, how many more years? How many more years of the status quo can YOU take.
While we have no major party that the donors and leadership want to allow another FDR to win. Bernie was our modern day FDR and the powers aligned against him.
The problem is that most people will not take action to such an extent until the issue comes directly to their own door. Humans are pretty resilient but also passive in the sense that it will take something truly awful to happen before a revolution starts. Especially considering most of us are attached to our screens and need to pay our bills. Something major will happen, though. It's inevitable with how things are going
We have a country full of gun owners, and the squeeze on their finances is coming to a critical stage. Owning guns and having nothing left to lose is a dangerous combination.

yup. they'll soon regret not renewing that ban the Clinton admin placed after one of their blue-uniformed men was deleted by a privite civie with such tissue-paper-tearing power.
No, definitely not the French Revolution that ended in more and more bloodshed and created Napoleon to stop the insanities. At the moment it would be a blood revolution between the Right and the Left first.
Just try to keep in mind that violent revolutions usually end with violent people in charge. Peaceful revolutions are much more successful long term. Civic disobedience, national strike, that kind of stuff.
Life will only get worse, so it will be interesting to watch how things evolve. Americans are already angry, but they are misdirected about the actual causes.
I totally agree . People read the papers or watch the news, which are owned by the ultra rich and then repeat what they have been told without any critical thought .
No society can survive once it starts to water down money. Soon the average home price will be $1m and the average wage 90k. Asset values will continue to increase while the money decreases until the children come to kill us for stealing their wages.
We could design a system that always runs at a loss. From what I can tell the Brit NHS is no better than the American system and may be worse. You can't sue the government. You can sue insurance companies.
Man you really hit the nail on the head about the "macro/micro corruption" --- I have spent a fair amount of time in the former Soviet Union which has lots of micro corruption but when I think about the US Senate ... well I think we've got them beat on the macro corruption....
Born in 1948 and was lucky enough to spend my entire career in high tech starting in the computer industry in the late 1960's. As part of this, I have traveled the world extensively. Over the past 20 or so years, I have witnessed the USA decline to third-world status in most regards (infrastructure, housing, healthcare, education, lifestyle, etc.) compared to places like China, Taiwan, and even Europe. I never imagined I'd watch the greatest country on earth fall to "shit-hole" status. What a travesty. I weep for America. It is indeed time for a revolution.
Its almost nothing like we were taught in schools a mere 20 years ago. The image they painted had patriotism & integrity, but theres hardly any of that around anymore.

Exactly, by the time they realize they pushed the population too far, it will be too late for them to "take it back" and go back to the society they once ruled.
I am sorry to tell you, but that was not a revolution. It was a popular revolt that was taken by the extreme the right, which lead to the election of a fascist president that wanted a military dictatorship . No revolution . Then , a centrist president was elected and all things remain the same. So, nope, no revolution.
The media is intentionally not talking about Luigi. The billionaires who control the media, and what we think, have made it a point to eliminate his fame.

Luigi exposed the horrific health insurance industry. Now, the LA fires have exposed that property insurers have cancelled people's coverage for fire only months ago. More and more people are starting to wake up.
I think the left vs right agree on a lot more than what the media gives credit. People are very angry and the state of healthcare and private equity/hedge funds destroying small business and the housing market. Eventually something has to give and right now things are at a flash point. Which is why u dont see stories related to Luigi on any AP news sites right now.
Our economic system pretends to be a system but it's more accurate to describe it as a syndicate based upon greed. The cost to our daily lives is profound, but here's the problem: most people today never experienced the opportunities & wealth of the past. I grew up in the Sixties & attended quality public schools, had decent medical care, and was able to attend a good state university for very little money. My tuition was under $100 per semester as an undergrad. That's NOT the experience of most Americans today under the age of 60. My rent was about $100/month, phone bill was around $20, utilities about $25, transportation (I had public transit) was $12/month for a pass. Friends who had cars paid far, far less for gas, insurance, etc. Food cost about $25/week & I ate healthy, real food. That's what we've lost, folks, thanks to the mainstream media lying to us 24/7/365, thanks to the sociopathy of billionaires, and thanks to capitalism which never worked for us but insofar as it's been wrapped around that piece of cloth called 'Old Glory' it's considered heresy to criticize it today. I hope the U.S. is on the cusp of revolution but it's an evil, powerful empire controlled by a few sociopaths so good luck everyone. May the future, some day, bring a better world.
Nick Hanauer did a TED Talk 10 years ago called. "Beware, fellow plutocrats, the pitchforks are coming". His point was that you get a revolution or a police state with this kind of stratification. Now the pitchforks are here.

Think about it: what does a human being need to survive in the modern era? 1. A home, 2. Food, 3. an education, 4. healthcare and 5. a sustainable income. It’s that simple. So let’s examine each one. 1. Housing costs have skyrocketed relative to income. 2. Food quality has collapsed and cost has skyrocketed. 3. Education costs have skyrocketed as well with people literally carrying school debt their entire lives. More importantly, the jobs one gets for that education increasingly pay less. People with solid credentials are struggling to land crappy jobs that pay by the hour at a rate that isn’t much better than minimum wage. 4. Healthcare costs have also taken off with insurance companies sucking money while adding little value. And not to mention that medical debt (which shouldn’t even be a thing) is the number one cause of bankruptcy now. 5. A sustainable income: well no such thing as a job and career that lasts 40 years. Company’s layoff if they have a bad quarter or two. Pensions are gone replaced with crappy 401k’s where the company effectively passes the risk of retirement to the individual. Heck, the entire business model of company’s like Uber is to not have employees just contractors. That allows them to not pay salaries, benefits, etc… The so called “gig economy” Have we forgotten that a “gig” was something your high school band used to try and get at the local bar? And people who were trying to land a gig were generally considered losers? But in today’s society it’s a whole mode of employment. What a bunch of crap. In the meantime everyone is “hustling”, turning hobbies into “side hustles”, Looking for “passive income” The younger generation has completely given up on any sense of privacy with everyone putting themselves on the internet doing the most ridiculous things, heck some women are even effectively prostituting themselves on Only Fans. Can you even imagine anyone in our Mother’s generation stripping in public let alone for millions of people on the internet for $5 bucks a pop? It’s disgusting!

This tells you that the modern era is over. For the past 34 years, we've been transitioning more-and-more from the modern era into the transhunanist era. These past 34 years could be called the post-modern transition phase, just as 1815-1850 could be called the post-enlightenment transition phase into the modern era. This was all planned out.

I actually worked in UHC. Started before it even existed. Groups of doctors in different states that got tougher. I was in Utah, sometimes went to Texas to meet with the computer experts there, a group of former US military. When they decided to start UHC, I was transferred to Minnesota. The first years, things were fine, but the company kept getting greedier. Lots of rearranging and people who were there were from the start, were let go. Then they started with the increase in denial. I was working with 3 MN hospital, dealing with babies with problem. No way was I denying any thing, I was transferred to the computer are. A few years, and I could not take and decided to quit. I don't blame that young man for what he did.

Born in '60. My dad was a union member. My parents could afford for my mom to be a stay-at-home, and me and my siblings to attend Catholic schools and university.
Just because I studied engineering and my spouse studied business we have been able to live a comfortable life for ourselves and our children.
But life is a lot worse for folks who didn't end up in the top 5-10%. Counting on your children all going to a top university and getting a STEM degree isn't viable for everyone in the nation. Anyone who works a full-time job should be able to afford a life with dignity. By traveling to Europe my family has all seen how life can be different.

Exactly. We are living in incredibly corrupt societies. Thank you for clear words. ❤
Cool it with the antisemitism
That is a wrong way of thinking - no one is corrupt because every dollar spent grows the economy - the only issue is that old people spend less, so money you give old people is wasted, it is thrown in to a bank or savings account and lost in the system. You need to give money, tax cuts to YOUNG people and not to wealthy old people. The entire tax system needs to be adjusted to change tax based on wealth and age combination. Lower taxes for young people will boost the economy - lower taxes for wealthy old people is a total waste.
@drscopeify That is wrong thinking. Hate for the elderly many of whom had been working and struggling for their whole lives to live in poverty in their final stage. That's immoral. And the wealthiest are NOT spending enough to help the economy. It's just not true and in contradiction to the facts. Stop hate speech and dividing people. We rather need solidarity.
An increase in the Gini coefficient is correlated with an increase in violence in society but not necessarily with revolution.
"We" have never lived in a society to beginn with. I feel there is a hard limit for the number of individuals who can form a meaningful society.

No way, mathematically impossible...all those thousands and millions of people are basically part of a scenary to you just like trees in a forest.

I have had customers who think nothing of owning a small fleet of high price cars tell me that my prices are too high, that my employees' wages are too high. They understand that paying fair wages and making life affordable for the rest of society means less money for them, although most of them will never ever be able to spend more in their whole lives than a small fraction of their financial assets. If they haven't increased their worth by at least 15% in a year they count that as a bad year.
Nope. Things have changed. What you describe has always , ALWAYS been the case. No rich class or cliche have ever acted to reduce their wealth accumulation or share their unearned income. Never. What we are witnessing in the USA (and elsewhere to a far lesser extent) is the total capture of the economy, public realm, entertainment, political and legal process etc etc....by a tiny number of individuals many of whom (Zionists) have zero interest in America's future. This is coupled with intelligent Americans gradual realisation that the myth of 'exceptionalism' was a dangerous lie (the re-appearance of China on the world stage & BRICS). THAT'S the REAL crisis in my opinion and it looks terminal unless Mr. Trump is a sort of magician. 'The rich getting richer whole the poor get poorer' is just a sort of slogan designed to engage the non-political in politics. The real problems lie beyond that necessary alarm call.
Yep..
Greed...Sears & Roebuck demise..?
It’s always been this way but the gap of wealth & the standard of living has both greatly increased for the rich & the standard of living has dramatically decreased.
There is an interesting psychological phenomenon called "relative deprivation", where very wealthy people feel poor because they are less wealthy than those around them. So it's possible for people who would seem to be incredibly well off to any outside observer to be obsessed with increasing their wealth further because of how they feel relative to those around them.

I lived through a civil war. What I can say is it was completely unlike anything I could have imagined. I always think about a couple I knew. The husband, active duty military, was shot and killed. He was shot in the back, curious at most. In an area of no guerrilla activity. Eventually it was determined he was shot with an Army issued caliber. The chilling thing was two days after his death, the widow started getting visits from one of his army colleagues, who started to put the moves on her. She told me she could look at him and know he did it.

Times have been a bit rough as of late out here in East Hempstead. My neighbor Margot McBride Winchester lives in a semi-dilapidated turn-of-the-century mansion not far from the waterfront. But, with those often ignored reports about climate change, the high tidewater comes along to flood her cellar, especially in the springtime. I saw Margot leave her old manse the other morning with her son. I don't know where she was supposed to take him, but word from another neighbor was how she left him on the side of the road, in front of an old farm house. The reason being was that supposedly he was complaining about not receiving his usual yearly Christmas gift of caviar laced body wash and the annual winter trip with Banana Republic Barron to their palatial estate in Grand Cayman. After this abrupt drop off, Marlot continued on in her old rusted out '89 Mercedes to the center of East Hempstead to attend her weekly ben wa balls training session with the great great nephew of Andrew Carnegie. After the session, she received her weekly botox injection.
Many grand dames and expensive hand bag harlots out here on Long Island cluck and gossip about how Margot has received too much botox and plastic surgery and how her face resembles that of someone who's been stung by a swarm of yellowjackets and wasps. And, unfortunately, I would have to agree with them. Margot looks to be a bit on the rough side with all that's been going on in our wealthy enclaves. I'm not afraid to say that I shed a tear when I hear of her misfortune. And hopefully, the winds of change will blow through our little Long Island hamlet, and number 47 will be the goose that lays the golden egg for Madame Margot McBride Winchester and the many others who are just like her.
Lets not. Only a coward shoots a man in the back.
You are so wrong and morally blind. No matter how bad Luigi thinks of the man he murdered by shooting him in the back, he absolutely has no right or privilege to make himself a prosecutor, all 12 jurors, the judge, the federal court, circuit court and Supreme Court, plus designating himself as the rightful executioner because he is so correct and courageous to be all of the above. ALL who cheer him are abdicating their responsibility as individuals redirecting the right of others as well as a system of justice system, plus other means to correct wrongs in a society. He is a coward and a murderer, not a hero as many who unfortunately felt that he were one.

And believe me, it didn’t help when I got into college and started traveling and seeing not only the luxuries afforded to people in other countries but also the privileges given to _other communities in America_ who happen to be a part of the higher castes.
My friends, family, and I have seen the writing on the wall for some time and desperately want to move to Europe or Asia or anywhere with healthcare and education and less existential threats to our safety yet no matter how hard we work or how much schooling we get no one I know can make it work.
We feel trapped. Like there is no leaving this place or advancing our status here and yet it’s suffocating us.
That leaves only one option.
Born in 1963, "Too soon old , too late smart".

Caste_ spot on
Poor whites experience this too
Lived in the US ,no welfare, no healthcare, and if you didnt have rich parents you were always broke even though all you did was work.
But the whites didn’t care because being white was more important
Bro, this sums it up perfectly. I'm Gen-X. It has always been a struggle. Even in the six fig incomes you had to live where that pay gets eroded by health care costs and depredations of the tax systems the state. The rent is high as well. Forget owning a home.
The industry I'm in is so chaotic that I've been out of work many times just because client work disappears. Then I get hired back.
The employers can be hit or miss as well. Since I'm in the wrong demographic, I'm last pick for any job nowadays. I've seen who they hired after my interviews -- way less education and experience than me... but very easy on the eyes -- if you know what I mean.
The biggest companies are the worst. DEI and harassment training that sends the signal: you're the bad guy and you'll never advance in this company. I had people promoted over me who were vastly less qualified. Most of the long-term people left and they didn't place me in any position I more than merited. But they did place other demographics in all those positions.
My dad died without leaving me any inheritance. His company went under right after NAFTA was signed. After that, he worked in other companies but never seemed to save anything. Married a vvoman who made more than him and lived off her money in his retirement. He did sincerely love her.
@michaeldavid6832 I moved back to Ireland where I now own a house and have a pension. Access to free healthcare if I really needed though have medical insurance which costs next to nothing. State pension at 66 is 300 dollars a week. Californium is great in your 20s but it's not really a long term option.
There is welfare for elderly and disabled. Many states have free healthcare for poor people. But the poverty threshold they hold you to is very low and even as disabled it is difficult to get the welfare because they systematically deny you and you need a lawyer to get it but can't afford a lawyer because you're disabled and poor.
Yeah but I got my motorcycle, ATV, Lexus, big screen tv, motor home, $7 Starbucks coffee every morning, eating out 4 times a week where did the money go???

The U.S. has the second-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. They could simply use it.
There is, actually.
Ther sheer, mind numbing number of security forces that have been established by the tyrants to keep the rabble in line.
Local municipal police (city/town). Local sheriffs (county). State police (state patrol). State special police (state bureau of investigation). National police (uncountable agencies - FBI, Homeland Security, ATF, ICE, ect). Military reserves (nat. guard, reserves, ect). Active military.
And I'm very likely missing ten or so steps between city and national security forces.

Never before in this country have there been so many with so little to lose.
Unbelievable. For decades even we, Europeans, looked at US with admiration and envying them seeing the middle class families living with huge possibilities, future and values. Well that is GONE.
It went because instead of increasing wages over the decades ceos and shareholders decided to give themselves more and more until they were sickeningly rich so price of living, houses went up and up and up and workers were on the same wage they were 40 years ago and couldn't afford house, food.
I never had any admiration for the US compared to Europe.
E A Amazing you can see it and most Americans can't.
I would add that a if a lot of us "Europeans" (Most people here do not use this term for self reference and refer to their own nationality) admired America it is because we were brainwashed by the same propaganda the Americans were brainwashed with.

Life will only get worse, so it will be interesting to watch how things evolve. Americans are already angry, but they are misdirected about the actual causes.
I totally agree . People read the papers or watch the news, which are owned by the ultra rich and then repeat what they have been told without any critical thought .

Our economic system pretends to be a system but it's more accurate to describe it as a syndicate based upon greed. The cost to our daily lives is profound, but here's the problem: most people today never experienced the opportunities & wealth of the past. I grew up in the Sixties & attended quality public schools, had decent medical care, and was able to attend a good state university for very little money. My tuition was under $100 per semester as an undergrad. That's NOT the experience of most Americans today under the age of 60. My rent was about $100/month, phone bill was around $20, utilities about $25, transportation (I had public transit) was $12/month for a pass. Friends who had cars paid far, far less for gas, insurance, etc. Food cost about $25/week & I ate healthy, real food. That's what we've lost, folks, thanks to the mainstream media lying to us 24/7/365, thanks to the sociopathy of billionaires, and thanks to capitalism which never worked for us but insofar as it's been wrapped around that piece of cloth called 'Old Glory' it's considered heresy to criticize it today. I hope the U.S. is on the cusp of revolution but it's an evil, powerful empire controlled by a few sociopaths so good luck everyone. May the future, some day, bring a better world.

Think about it: what does a human being need to survive in the modern era? 1. A home, 2. Food, 3. an education, 4. healthcare and 5. a sustainable income. It’s that simple. So let’s examine each one. 1. Housing costs have skyrocketed relative to income. 2. Food quality has collapsed and cost has skyrocketed. 3. Education costs have skyrocketed as well with people literally carrying school debt their entire lives. More importantly, the jobs one gets for that education increasingly pay less. People with solid credentials are struggling to land crappy jobs that pay by the hour at a rate that isn’t much better than minimum wage. 4. Healthcare costs have also taken off with insurance companies sucking money while adding little value. And not to mention that medical debt (which shouldn’t even be a thing) is the number one cause of bankruptcy now. 5. A sustainable income: well no such thing as a job and career that lasts 40 years. Company’s layoff if they have a bad quarter or two. Pensions are gone replaced with crappy 401k’s where the company effectively passes the risk of retirement to the individual. Heck, the entire business model of company’s like Uber is to not have employees just contractors. That allows them to not pay salaries, benefits, etc… The so called “gig economy” Have we forgotten that a “gig” was something your high school band used to try and get at the local bar? And people who were trying to land a gig were generally considered losers? But in today’s society it’s a whole mode of employment. What a bunch of crap. In the meantime everyone is “hustling”, turning hobbies into “side hustles”, Looking for “passive income” The younger generation has completely given up on any sense of privacy with everyone putting themselves on the internet doing the most ridiculous things, heck some women are even effectively prostituting themselves on Only Fans. Can you even imagine anyone in our Mother’s generation stripping in public let alone for millions of people on the internet for $5 bucks a pop? It’s disgusting!

I was in Utah, sometimes went to Texas to meet with the computer experts there, a group of former US military. When they decided to start UHC, I was transferred to Minnesota. The first years, things were fine, but the company kept getting greedier. Lots of rearranging and people who were there were from the start, were let go. Then they started with the increase in denial. I was working with 3 MN hospital, dealing with babies with problem. No way was I denying any thing, I was transferred to the computer are. A few years, and I could not take and decided to quit. I don't blame that young man for what he did.

Sure did but there are still many Americans who worships him - usually the wealthy and the privileged .... I wonder why it is so?
And under Thatcher in the UK.

How?
