General Discussion

Everything you said is true. And, everything you mentioned is either a direct of indirect symptom of a society that has embraced the worship of unfettered capitalism. They are literally living their own deaths at the hands of oligarchs who could care less until there are no more workers. Then, you will see some Terminator-style crap start to happen in earnest. They re not worried as much about robotic A.I. yet because there are still so many people to exploit, but you watch... they now have control of the largest hedge fund in the world... us. Watch what happens now. If we don't stop ignoring the fact that it needs to be treated as a lion in a cage. You keep opening the door more and more, it eats you. You keep the door tightly closed and restrictions in place, and it becomes a show piece for the circus. That is what capitalism should be to us. Without the leash, it is a wild animal and will kill us all while we are trying to pet it.

I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas, Chanukah, Kwaanzaa and (my fave) Yule. May the spirits watch over you and keep you. May the joy you embrace in this season spill over into the new year.

Blessed Be
