    Buckle up buttercup... The Robber Barrons have over-reached in the most outrageous of ways and New York City has always been at the forefront of where the US is moving to next... So has California. You can be a stick in the mud all you want. It's easier for our newly blooming social-Democratic movement to roll over you that way!

    Point being you can only rip people off and piss them for so long before your worst nightmare of smashing inequality is finally made real.

    The most harmful and destructive people in the world are the ones who are too cautious to speak out and dumbly go along with something that's obviously wrong. Most all of the world's suffering is not because of what evil people do, but because decent people who could actually speak up and prevent them from being evil were are too concerned about their own selfish needs rather than the greater good!

    There was a guy in Russia who didn’t even speak up, only stood outside with a blank piece of paper, and Putin’s Russia took him away. The blank piece of paper implied he can’t speak as he wants without incrimination. No one is saying don’t speak up, go ahead, but others want to be cautious because the figure head has the power to disappear you. In our case he pardoned over 1500 who were convicted for doing what he wanted on Jan 6. They are out there to do as he tells them. So if you think speaking up will prevent the tyrant from acting evil, you’re mistaken. Voting is all we can do to speak up, so lets speak up in a way that does something.
    i would not blame the world’s people who fear to speak out for human caused suffering, but blame the evil people.

    However we outnumber them... ALWAYS! So at any point WE THE PEOPLE can stand up united and there won't be a dang thing they can do to stop us from establishing our own sovereign government. Most kings in modern times inevitably learn that lesson. Be ready for it... Already the national guard and military know that they have no interest in attacking their own cities and they'll refuse to do it as this dumb arse gets more desperate as his power erodes and fewer and fewer are willing to go along with his agenda that's based on chaos and fake claims that have no relationship to reality.

    Shhh!
    You'll spoil the surprise. :ROFLMAO:

    The guilds we have now function more like cartels.
    Remember also that historically, Guilds very often as not strived for political power for their internal oligarchy.
    This is why they often as not were so wildly corrupt.


    What we see now is what happens when you don't require history(*) in what passes for our public school system.

    Youth is wasted on the young.
    Actually? In a fair and just world they should have worked their way from the top down in whatever regulatory entity allowed for an uncontained nuke plant.....on the seashore of a densely populated, seismically active prefecture.

    THANK GOD, as humans we are able to learn from mistakes like that!!!!


    (*) US public schools, and REAL ACTUAL history.

    Seems like that history continued with some of the modern-day labor unions.

    One of the last college courses I took was history that compressed WW-1 to current in one lecture. I understood why but frustrating.
