Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee to be the next mayor of New York and a self-identified democratic socialist, said Sunday billionaires contribute to inequality.
Im not saying that. Its the wealth inequality that stunts society. People don’t have the resources to make decisions based on whats best and have to deal with what they can afford. Lack of infrastructure and regulators results in more pollution.
I would argue the trap is in the other way. Your reply reminds me a lot of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6vjaimSK4E . You may think you know how good the average american has it but you may not understand stand the unique challenges of various americans in many different situations. Wealth disparity is the trap and the only way toward freedom is a society were it is not so extreme.
and the only way toward freedom is a society were it is not so extreme.
That is not a way. Who should create the society?
OP argued that there are no resources left. Well, then that’s the way till the robots make humans unnecessary.
If people want to get out, they have to do something. Don’t work harder, consume smarter. Not the poorest have to start but those who make two vacations per year. Spend that money wisely and grow from there.
we should create such a society with taxation and regularion. resources are finite but we have them left and I agree we have to use them wisely. I often point out that we would get in excess of a barrels worth of oil for every one spent in the heyday of the oil age but now we just get a few but wind/solar/etc lets us recoup way more energy per barrel again.
we know how. taxation and regulation. Decisions based on rigorous studies that are repeated and funding to do so and also just doing what has been successful elsewhere.
Im not looking to be a dictator. I exercise what power I have to push for democracy and human rights. Its been back and forth and on a losing trend but things have been worse and been up ended for the better in the past. I am inspired by the people who have marched and stood by me. There is nothing stopping their tricks but in the end they need the consent of the elected if they want an orderly flourishing society.

People have still more than many others on the world. Illegal immigrants have less, and they have to pay off their traffickers.
This mindset is a prison. The people have the power, they are just sure that they don’t have it. A beautiful display of mind control.

Thanks for the song.

The problem is that nobody knows how.

Unfortunately that’s the what. How do you gain the power to implement such a society?
