"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss." Karl Brunnholzl Capitalism is, or is soon to become a dying economic practice (system). The reasons are certainly many, complex, and interconnected. But the primary reason is that capitalism, particularly in the USA, has become entirely focused on increased productivity to maximize profits and increase shareholder's stake, ie increase the wealth of individual shareholders. Which means in truth, as well as in straight talk, to insure that the real (and obscene) wealth is funneled to and concentrated in the top 1 or 2 percent of the nation. When self interest becomes the driving force behind every decision, and selfishness essentially becomes a "virtue" as it is with folks like Trump, then the footing on which a society stands on begins to crumble.

DeleteFlipping the senate will be crucial. If the senate remaind rethuglican and Binden wins... obstruction and gridlock.
republicans will start screaming about the debt on day 1 of the Biden administration. It's their strategy.

DeleteTrump's vision of America? You're under assault, White people. The "radical left" is going to destroy America unless you vote for "the Chosen One" to save it. aka fear and hate-mongering.
Derv... Day 1? That's already started. Look at Trd Cruz and Rand Paul. As they ready to run for pres in 2024, they're already starting this BS.
