European countries like Denmark & Germany having a much more sophisticated, enlightened economic conversation than we are. We’re led by political dinosaurs trying to figure out how best to shore up capitalism-as-usual, when what we need is the will & imagination to reinvent it.

America lacks vision and those in power are not interested in the people's well being.

Increasing inequality, ecocidal externalities, and alienation from each other are all INHERENT in any kind of capitalism. Hence wars, random shootings, and destruction of the ecosystem. Capitalism can't be "reinvented" -- it must be ended.

A pandemic can show how solidarity, environmentalism are fundamental values, even though we ignored them. As politics is today only the management of economy, human survival is only possible in the near future if economics stops being value-neutral. speri.dept.shef.ac.uk/2020/0…

We’re a 3rd world country. All our money goes to military and corporate interests . People don’t realize quality of life for working Americans is way below average. #americansleftbehind
