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.

"The market" cannot be improved by becoming more "humanitarian" if we preserve a capitalist system of production. No matter how "humane" it is, nothing will eliminate its inherent contradictions that result in crisis and exploitation. It is, by definition, immoral and insatiable.

Thank goodness there are voices of reason on this out there like you. Corporate capitalism must be reigned in. Who will be the Teddy Roosevelt of our times and take on the Big Tech tyrants for the good of the people? # Progressivism must never die

What you are advocating is an emotional version of communism.

Have you ever considered that you may be in the wrong team? Or that you're not digging deep enough in your research on the money being stored at the Vatican and the ties between Biden and China? Have you ever looked into The China Agenda?
