DonaldBrashear Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's only going to get worse because capitalism is dying. People won't tolerate the wealthiest 1% owning almost half of all the wealth anymore. The world is going to drastically change over the next 50 to 75 years. In the end, people will revolt (violently) and it will be brutal. We are already seeing a revolt against police in the USA, and next we will see a revolt against the wealthy. If the police become overpowered or politically neutered then there will be no one left to protect the rich. Don't think for one second this is science fiction. Not even close. In fact, the thought of a bunch of poor people rising up and killing the rich, or simply taking the wealth back, or electing a government to do it for them, is rather tame compared to the world's history (World War II and the Civil War, for example). All it will take is a spark. Who will protect the 1%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imy too old and set in my ways in my late 20s lol. things will naturally balance out. I'm sure the top 1% would rather share their wealth then lose it and the power they control. I'm an old fart in a semi young body lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take a economic upheaval like the Great Depression to bring some order back, and regulations again. The BS of economists saying regulations "hurt" business. When in reality it helps avoid monopolies. If you are good at what you do, be it a plumber, making widgets, or aircraft. If you are smart you can make a sustainable profit. We have to stop this "get rich quick" mentality, and set up companies that are competitive for generations, and sustainability is more than just lip service.

The problem I see with this (and it's many youtube videos of people saying "GIVE us some of the 1%) is who the +×÷= are they to say give them anything. Go earn it. Life is not a giant handout.

I'm 28 years old. the first president I remember is George W Bush. the first person I saw challenge Bush was his cousin John Kerry. I haven't seen an election in my lifetime that hasn't had 2 establishment talking heads. at least in Canada it appears at least to the eye test we have an honest election process. feel bad for us citizens.

Even in Quebec City. I don't say much, and everyone speaks French to me, and people ask me for directions. I was even at the train station and the attendant was speaking French to me telling me which seat I was in and which car, and then spoke English to the people behind me.
