as a left-leaning independent, I have no illusions for what is about to transpire tomorrow.
We have entered into an era of one-termers, as things grow worse and worse and we perpetually blame the other side for all that ails the inevitable collapse of industrial nations. It's grown boring, because we never really tackle the root problem.
Until you change the way money works, you change absolutely nothing. Wall St. controls this country, not the Beltway. Further, until you acknowledge that infinite growth is impossible on a finite planet that has reached its peak, you change nothing. In fact, you inflame the symptoms and speed up the terminal prognosis.
Our lavish lifestyle of gluttony and consumption is doomed. And there is absolutely nothing that conservative, privatize everything, hide-the-books conservative rule can do about it. NOTHING. In fact, they'll just speed it along quite efficiently.
Ahh the economic doctrine of "we're all sinners now so do penance." It is a proven loser. It was proven a loser in the 1970s in the famous bet.
Wall St does not control this country, any more than Microsoft controls this country. If it did Lehman Brothers would be in business.
There are no limits to growth. Resources in the aggregate are unlimited because the only real resource is human ingenuity. Ponder that while you sip your grande latte.
So much fail.
You worship at the altar of technology. Unfortunately, "ingenuity" still requires enormous amounts of fossil fuels.
