Yep. Sounds about right

You know how to fix all? Connection to a higher power whispering in your ear? That’s special!

I disagree with the "devoid of long term thinking" premise. Every political decision, law or policy enacted over the previous five debates or so have been designed with the intent to return this country and it's populace to the time of the industrial revolution. No labor laws etc

Executive bonuses are based on this year’s profits. That’s what it ultimately boils down to.

Yep, that's #Capitalism. The United States has never been a nation, it's a business. Founded to serve the merchant/investor/speculator class: "the new sovereign". Still is & it's government is incompatible w/the basic principles of democratic governance. As we are experiencing.

Yes!!! This is a marvelous point. The short-term profit-driven capitalist cycle reinforces this. Companies don’t care about their lasting Impact, just the short-term gain. Social media is actually designed to reinforce this. It’s why so many can’t conceive of the climate disaster

Yet all we get is pablum from you.

On point. I am trying to teach the offspring of the opioid crisis. We never saw that one coming either.

Our past experience doesn't support that. People here who can't get food line up for it, move in search for it, etc. Most are not raised with any expectation of better. It's the middle class and up who who don't get what they feel entitled to that get enraged.
