The Dreamers in the Valley(insanity)

And as with many hot companies of today, one does not even have to prove the simple arithmetic behind the proposals: even if no money is ever made, the world, as a result, will become a much better place. In Liz and Bernie, the Valley is sensing kindred spirits: leaders with bold ideas, deployed at scale, with unlimited funding and unburdened by consequences. If everyone gets an almost free ride, buys an electric car below its manufacturing price, and gets food delivered below the price of the food itself, then why not have free healthcare and get electricity from thin air? Once money stops being an issue, all issues disappear.

Visiting Vladimir Lenin back in 1920, H. G. Wells found the leader of the Bolshevik coup talking about connecting remote villages of Russia to the power grid. Mesmerized by the leader of the Proletarian Revolution, the author called him “The Dreamer in the Kremlin.” But one man’s dream is a nightmare for the millions. As the Valley, together with senators Warren and Sanders, dream of a new world where the good is deployed at scale, almost everything is free, the power is green, and cars are electric, let us hope their wild imagination remains in the confines of hyper-growth companies and the speeches of the primary season.

Any 10 year old who ever ran a lemonade stand knows that if you sell something below scale you don't make a profit. No profit means, well.. no profit. No paying yourself, your employees, no taxes the state demands, no more product to keep selling , no more expansion, no more new jobs created, no more anything. As socialist fairly tale systems fall apart from their own inherent flaws people starve to death and then they're shot to death by the totalitarian idiots who came up with the scheme in the first place.

Then the whole stupid thing is scrapped, a new generation of servile idiots and starry eyed, fascistic and pugnacious little monsters are inculcated and created in the totalitarian training grounds known as colleges and universities and the whole nightmare starts all over again. For over one hundred years in the last century socialist utopias have been spawned on humanity and millions are dead because of it. The last go round with socialism, National Socialism, gave birth to a six year cataclysm humanity barely survived.
