1/ Over the last 40 years there has been a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% of Americans. Productivity has gone up but wages have not, as companies have felt justified in ripping off workers as though their lives did not matter.

2/ The cruel neglect of masses of people’s survival needs during the pandemic has been a natural extension of how the system had been working even before. Incremental change will not fix this. We need a fundamental disruption of the political & economic status quo.

3/ The election of Biden doesn’t mean the emergency is over. Trump was a symptom, not a cause of the underlying emergency & it is still with us. WH & Congressional Dems will take a quick sharp turn towards economic justice, or fascism will come to America & this time it will stay

changes as usual would be incremental based on what i see in Biden’s administration. Drastic changes will come when people in charge understand the urgency of struggling families.

And part of that disruption includes massive changes to the banking system and ways money is “created” and distributed. Now, it’s lending to the “qualified” whereby it should be directly distributed (equally) to the people; possibly in the for of a Freedom Dividend! @AndrewYang

Read Recardo Semler’s book, Maverick. It's a great read & an example of how capitalism can be made to work for the worker too. I read it over 23 years ago and it changed the way I managed my people and the way I consulted & advised my High Tech clients. I wish more had listened.

I can get behind political anarchy.

YES ... this is true ... it takes COURAGE and CUNNING and ANTICIPATION to dare to go against the system ... you personally found out what can happen when you do that ... NEXT TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!

A fundamental disruption of the political and economic status quo is just around the corner. The Federal Reserve is going to buy and rule the world. The middle class will be kaput. People will be well off or hurting. Your are correct, but your solutions aren't right.

While some decent level of monetary distribution is a must, giving only monetary incentives for social "change" is an illusion. Money used today by poor people may tomorrow go to rich companies for ill purposes. Why cannot we read Simmel's Philosophy of money, or Max Weber?
