(9,296 posts)To fix it is to just allow things to stay as they are, which will just make this all happen again. My solution is to let it collapse, which will remove those who are at the 'top' of the chain. Once they have no power, we can start with some regulations that will hopefully create a more equitable society for everyone, even those who do not feel that greed is a virtue.
This is my position on how to 'fix' what has happened to our society. Which is a decidedly unpopular position to have. But, I do not have the faith that some have in our judicial branch. I do not think that is what will save us. I do not have the faith in the societal model that we are currently under because it created this in the first place. I think that trying to retain it while throwing on another bandaid is just going to prolong what is going on, as well as allowing another Trump further down the road.
My solution is too radical. I am forced to accept that. I think it can be done, but no one cares about what I think. They just want my vote, or my back, or my legs, or whatever part of me that can be exploited to create a society that I find more and more repulsive each day. Unfortunately, I am a very poor choice for a radical leader. My health is beyond pitiful and I am not physically appealing (which is more than adequate for being listened to, doesn't matter if you actually know anything or not, looks can get you far in our society), so I cannot hope to interest anyone in what I have to say, nor implement any ideas I might have to try and change things anyway.
Besides, it is apparent to me that enough of us do not want things to change much at all. So, just keep doing what you all are doing. I won't be around much longer anyway. Maybe I got too excited at the prospect of finally seeing a situation that could lead to some real change in our society. But, I guess I was being too... deluded?
I recently read where someone said that they find it funny that some of us think that we are going to vote our way out of this. So do I.
But, I have been wrong before, and I have been right before. Only time will tell which one it will be.
