I'd imagine there's a lot more we agree on. We just don't agree on solutions. We've been so used to our invisible cages, we can't imagine the world beyond them without coaching, coaxing and encouragement, but it can be done.

Eta and in this instance, I agree with your solution.

Corporate greed is why no one can afford anything. There's no scarcity either. It's a matter of logistics, but that's going to quickly change if the very well off people and corporations don't curb their insatiable appetites, and that can be done with the 50s era 93% tax rates on very high individual earners and adding that same rate to megacorporations. No more tax cuts for donating to self-serving, self -directed "philanthropic" causes anymore, either. That tax money can be used to clean up the environment, well - feed, educate, home and health for EVERY individual at the same providers. No campaign donations of any form, fashion or sort. Campaigns are debates and past voting history, only, and every broadcast radio station and television station will be required to air them multiple times. Every print newspaper too, and taxes can fund that. No corporate or wealthy lobbiests.

Then let's see how charitable the wealthy really are.

Made me laugh, thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Tbh I figured they have bots crawling social media to find out what people are using to avoid their annoying, intrusive, abusive practices and use that to get ever more obnoxious.

I don't recall Kent State protesters killing anyone.

Could've used the money for supplies and lunches for the kids.

Absolutely, even when serving them regularly.

More like in offshore accounts, priceless art, "philanthropical" foundations, cars, plants, yachts, islands, stocks...

I don't think it's worth bothering arguing with them, anymore, since it tends to deflect from both major parties being the beneficiaries and at least sideline architects of genocide. I'm voting Claudia. I said what I said, nothing to argue about. Let them shadowbox.

Eta: didn't think I'd need the sarcasm tag, in my original comment. But I will add quotation marks.

I've always been amazed that what was done to their people, they do to others. Just now I was shocked by the thought that ran through my mind: why would you be shocked and amazed that these people are doing everything the Father of Zionism advocated being done to his fellow Jews?

Ever since Palestine came to my awareness, I read about horrible things done by "God's chosen race" against the people God also was supposed to have blessed in those ancient scrolls. If yhwh blessed both seeds, you'd think "the chosen ones" who claim they're following the scrolls would stop conveniently leaving out their brothers and sisters as a blessed nation.

When this issue first came to my awareness, I was reading that settlers were still tying torches to fox's tails and loosing them in crops and neighborhoods. WTF?
