Capitalism should not regulate the government; government should regulate capitalism. Until we get the #MoneyOutOfPolitics, the undue influence of money on our political system will continue to corrupt our democracy and will - if allowed to - ultimately end it.

How about... Everyone exclusively receives $2,000/month regardless of job, people can donate/subscribe $1/month to you, requires making people like you Free healthcare/insurance/education Abolish patents, price gouging, coupons, sales

You, my dear, are invited to the barbecue. Don’t bother bringing a dish (no one will eat it anyway).

The question is whether or not capitalism can ultimately be regulated, or does it naturally tend towards concentration of wealth/power? Imo we need to find ways to incentivize workplace democracy and move towards decentralization. Restore balance and equality.

Sounds smart, how do we implement this direction?
