We have more than a two-tier system in the United States. We have a royalist system in the United States. The economic royalists (FDR's term) basically rule over everyone else, their undue influence enabling them to reach their corporate tentacles into every corner of our lives. From the food we eat to the water we drink to the healthcare we receive to the cost of education to the way we raise our children to how so many are shackled with debt that no one should have to carry, none of this is normal or acceptable in the richest country in the world. But absolutely, let's just keep voting for the status quo. It's working so well.... for them.

How do you dismantle that when every election cycle devolves into lesser evil?

I've said this before I've come through trauma I don't care what the motivations of my leaders are or if I like them I've gone past that superficial 'I need to like this person' I want folk that can take charge and if need be bully or cajole obstructive politicians

Marianne, I keep asking myself whatever happened to following the wisdom shown on the United States Seal that appears on our currency in Latin: "Out of many, one." And according to the U.N. report today, the U.S. ranks 20th in happiness. Not surprising!

How do you post this without mentioning the SVB depositor bailout?
