    TBF even if you don’t agree that the economy is getting better under Biden, that still doesn’t say anything about his fiscal policy. His policies might not have a tangible effect for a decade. He’s not a king, he doesn’t decide who sells what and for how much.

          My ideal solution really doesnt matter. When you are being strangled, to extend the analogy, you dont really care who gets the guy off you.

          If capitalism wants to protect itself, it better stop the strangling.

            So you want competent legislation to make strangling illegal via a series of complex regulatory standards and campaign finance reform?

              I don’t think that would hurt. I certainly would go further.

              The point is that on the path we are currently heading, people will take any alternate system better or not. So if capitalism wants to in its own self-interest, stick around, then it’s going to have to throw the little guy some bones.

              When people are desperate enough, they’ll look for any savior.
