So far just radio 5
and NewsnightHD bbc2 He claims the Russian Rich are the same as USA Jeff Bezos of Amazon. He is saying Capitalism around the World is making folks worse and poor. I hope Bernie goes on all the other Media to Promote his new Book. Bernie on the Moon Spoiler: He used some of these Memes to raise money for the USA poor Life In The City.

That's because he likes stealing other people's money so that he can spend it on what he wants instead of those who's money it is spending their money on what they want.
That's why bussines owners would take their business elsewhere and there would be less opportunity for others to make a living. They'd have to hope and beg that Bernie would feed them instead of them feeding themselves. |

I was watching his interview with my mum, and as he was talking she had this absorbed look on her face. I wondered if she was taking in his every word, as she isn't too interested in American politics, it's perfectly possible he entirely passed her by.
After a while, she said: "THAT'S IT! He's the Mitten Man!" |

Assuming humans continue to exist at all there are only two viable futures. 1) Increasing automation going hand-in-hand with increasing socialism. 2) MASSIVE-scale population reduction. And not like Thanos' "50%", more like 90% and with controls in place to stop it increasing from there. |

... but ... People have been saying such things since automated cotton ravelling machines, and I'm not sure if (proportionately) more jobs are at risk due to the robots, so I have a scoach of skepticism about the upcoming end times. |

The wealth-hoarding and social breakdown of end stage capitalism is pretty clear at this stage though. Really no denying that IMO. Some sort of wealth redistribution mechanism is going to be required or it's going to get even more ridiculous than it is now. Capitalism was never supposed to result in a tiny number of people and organisations sitting on mountains of resources that they could never possibly use in a thousand years while working-age employed adults struggle for basic accomodation. It's a system that's ultimately doomed. The youngest part of the workforce is already reportedly "lacking in work ethic" which basically just means, they do the bare minimum and if their boss gets angry about it they quit on the spot. You have to admire it really . |

" a democratic, civilised society"
Be Fair Old Bernie has managed to raise money for poor workers in the USA. So he views his nation as Democracy Like the UK has. Like Biden, got more votes than Trump so became the President. That's Democracy Last edited by arista; 24-02-2023 at 02:49 PM. |

Essentially what I mean is, you could have elected officials heading up each government department, but the criteria for running for election would be extensive education and experience in that area of expertise. e.g. no "Health Ministers" who don't have a long and extensive list of accolades and published pieces of work within real-world healthcare - preferably on-the-ground practical experience too. No environment ministers who are not doctored academic scientists. You see my thinking. So yes... ONCE someone has adequate experience and qualifications to put themselves forward for a top government role, THEN they put together a campaign and the public votes as a second layer of checks. Imagine a world where all of the politicians are actually educated and make their decisions based on expertise instead of voting trends and politics |
