Our economy should not be guided by market principles but by humanitarian principles. That’s the fundamental shift that will turn the ship around in the 21st-century. A thriving humanity will improve the market, but making the market thrive does not necessarily improve humanity.

Case in point: We should massively front-end resources in the direction of children. It will provide no immediate monetary profits for anyone but it’s our greatest chance for long-term economic profit and sustainability for everyone. Our most precious resource is a child’s brain.

You talk the talk, but walk with your corporate-owned Establishment party.

It's not "humanitarian" to shutdown small businesses & allow corporations to amass wealth, to eliminate competition on social media by shutting down competing platforms to enforce a preferred rhetoric or to set #M4A & COVID relief aside to impeach.

The market is a fabulous mechanism for wants, it's a horrific extortion for needs. I don't care what the auction at Sotheby's records. Let Bezos corner the supply of Faberge Eggs. I do care about the price of an ambulance ride. That's a municipal service

If we’ve learned anything, it’s that making the market thrive DOES NOT improve most of our lives😭

No. It is good to have good intentions but it is misguided to think these lead to good results. And in the end, it’s results that matter. Always evaluate decisions based on the results. After all, the road to hell...

What's the problem that we have now is all these Senators that when they take a break they beg for money from billionaires& upper millionaires so when they call about their constituents they literally mean their donors the American public do not matter to them so unless you got$$
