Universities with multibillion dollar endowments withholding livable wages from their own grad students; Studio executives who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year resisting giving livable wages to their writers; A third of Americans living economically unstable lives; 1 million homeless children in America’s public schools; A higher poverty rate in the United States by far than in any other advanced democracy —- The sooner we collectively recognize that something has gone too far, that the system as it is is not working, the sooner we will collectively rise to the challenge of embracing and fostering fundamental change.

The writers? Oh, how I wish Shakespeare could come back to life and give an earful to these "executives." That's what happens when a country runs on a "business model."

Endowments are not set up to provide livable wages

Universities? Run by Democrats. Movie Studios? Run by Democrats. Most Democrats TALK just like you do. And then DO the opposite. At least run third party.

PROFIT = VALUE added. EQUITY = WORTH of Adder. JUSTICE = LIBERTIES and RIGHTS.

It's a systemic problem and it will solve itself, unfortunately that solution will be quite painful for all involved. What the world needs is a bottom up democracy, and we have the technical ability to do that now; office of president could be made unnecessary by Nov 7th 2027.

And yet you have no idea what the actual problem is because you won’t look into the money itself. Paper Money Is Bullshit

Can any of you regular folks, please list all the ways, you a friend or lived one positively benefitted from any Democrat or Republican legislation? Not their proposals!! Their actual passed legislation. Then please explain your loyalty to either party?
