Another good suggestion.
Somehow, the invisible international power structure needs to be demolished, as it benefits only the very wealthy and those with ties to government.
When I was growing up in business, America was lightyears ahead of Europe and everywhere in terms of true entrepreneurial opportunities. But now, the big money places ESG, DIE, climate and other outrageous demands on young companies seeking investment. They'd rather dumb everything down to computer level dumbness than to continue to reward creativity and innovation.
Bottom line, they'll gladly accept an incompetent economy run exclusively by financial types, and a disappearing middle class, as long as they can sit in the background pulling the strings.
We The People need to speak again.
-—growing up in bizness: To your point about dumbing down production, schooling etc. in my growing up years we referred to “free enterprise.” The geniuses you’re talking about have substituted “capitalism” for that, as tho there is a pile of money around just waiting to get you started. But free enterprise refers to us who started with our bare hands, disregarded the alleged geniuses, and built stuff people wanted or needed. I still, 7 decades later, do that, but I sure do see a bunch of one-dimensional slugs around who can do just one thing and usually not good enough to make it last.
And massive arrests, and clean elections.
