Like thirty three years is a long time.
lmao.
Twenty years is age for a dog.
Fifty years is youth for a tree.
No one is immune to time or gravity.
They get all of us eventually.
And so what the blocked guy said means nothing.
In thirty five years I have watched this Nation go from independently owned businesses and companies, to a corporate oligarchy where the people who work in the stores cannot afford to shop in them.
In my home town, wealthy people moved in and bought up all the vacant land, pushing property taxes so high that Native born people, that have been there for over seventy five years or more, can no longer afford to keep their homes.
It is eerily reminiscent of what people did to Our Native tribes over 100 years ago.
The fact is that greed is completely out of control world wide, particularly in this Nation.
The robber barons need to be put in their place once again.
Again, one could have kids within that time. It’s a whole human generation.
For comparison, the Gilded Age where those robber barons dominated? Wiki says that period is around 1877 to 1896, or not even 20 years.
Elon Musk became CEO of Paypal in 2000, and he’s one of the younger tech CEOs. In other words if those famous tech rich CEOs are the new robber Barons, they’ve been active and dominating our world for at least as long as the Robber barons back in the day.
Standard Oil started in 1870 and was broken up in 41 years later. That’s more than 33, but less than how long we’ve been since China opened up. I guess if we keep up this schedule, we might see big government break up of the likes of Twitter and Google etc by 2041?
Meh, it means as much as your opinion, which is, as you may say, duly noted.
So; by your own admission, in one human generation
the wealthy have taken over practically every critical resource, and almost every facet of the systems meant to keep them from exploiting the rest of us.
Yeah, come to that, I think it’s been plenty long enough.
Time to eat the rich.
Oh, and Microsoft was going to fix ABK because it is a great and moral company…
Bro, that’s what I’ve been saying. What you said was not that long ago, actually was quite long.
Note I’m not disagreeing with you on whether we need to go after the rich. As least as long as I’m not on that list of the rich of course ;p
lol. I just think that people who have enough disposable income to meddle politically in the lives of poor people should probably pay way more taxes.
I also think that stock buy-backs should be taxed enough that they encourage investment in the company and it’s workers instead.
Do your due diligence, donate to charities that benefit the systematically disadvantaged. *DO NOT HESITATE VOLUNTARILY JOINING. Don’t expect Lone Ranger trying to make a difference, because unless they join such a non-profit, if there is no financial and/or power move accosted with it to legitimately benefit these people’s lives. Without any incentive to do so, it’s always a PR move to demonstrate that this multi-billion dollar company is “helping”. It’s to look good on the outside while on the inside it is corrupt as all hell.
Very rarely will anyone with billions abd billions of dollars turn a blind eye to the issue of hunger and shelter in the US.
@Mallenroh, what are your thoughts?
I have seen both sides of this. Some corporations will not hesitate to help.
Others will cry poverty.
We had Wal Mart turn us down more than once, saying that they gave to too many causes already.
All of them should pay more taxes, charity not withstanding.
Because the CSR is one of the top angles for Pr and mktg. 
Us or Not.
