It's about how Capitalism works BEST (and also worst), and how it might once again be made right.
And it's also entertaining to boot.
Just saw it on Netflix.
See it, or face my smiley-filled wrath!

In your opinion, when exactly was capitalism " right " ? And at which point did it stop being so ?

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

I've just watched a half-hour+ of Dr. Reich's interview on Democracy
Now. Because that's what I can get right now.

Many of the economic inequalities in the USA are obvious to me, as
they are to you. But understanding Wall St., investments, banking
(+predatory lending, selling off bad loans, and all the other tricks
of the trade) is very uphill to me.

Whenever Reich says that our 1% "overlords" should wanna pay the
workers more, so that they can buy more from the Rich ... that, of
course, is too obvious. It would help everyone.

We have a pretty large percentage of Americans in the poverty class
for generations now. Crippled by what? Their own low expectations,
lack of intelligence, laziness? ... I can't even begin to answer that
one.

It seems to me that nowadays, the middle class is also seriously
crippled ... I feel this was done to them intentionally by the 1%.
Now we're all "peasants," with the great majority (farmer class)
busting their butts tryin' to get back to what was normal.

Ever since the crash, I've been saying, "O! They're taking us back
to Feudalism."

Creepy.

Absolutely spot-on and applicable to the reality we live in today.

But not surprising.

My sister is a hippy anarchist rebellious artistic... fill in the rest here. I don't know how to describe her anymore than that. Point is, her son was a total square for most of his formative years purely in reaction to her.

Youth rebel against their elders. That's what they always do. We have entered an age of technology and logic and science. The youth will rebel, will fall in love with Beavis and Butthead, and the weak-minded will never grow out of it. But I think Carl Sagan wasn't seeing the whole picture. Let the kids rebel when they need to, let the idiots fall into the gutter and never get out. Society is having its eyes opened.

OK, so maybe we're as likely to destroy ourselves as we are to survive and evolve. But if we do muddle through, the future could be pretty damned cool. I can't explain that statement in any brief way, but I fully believe it. Holy cow, what we could achieve if we get over this moronic destructive phase... I wish I could live long enough to see it.

I don't mean to suggest that I'm up to such a level, but it's like what Francis Bacon was all about. He knew he was living in the Dark Ages and an Enlightenment might be just around the corner. Poor guy. Wish he could see what we have today. He'd shrug at the Tea Party/Faux News morons and say: Nice job getting this far folks. Keep up the good fight.

Since I don't have a Netflix account and probably aren't going to make a special trip to find this or buy it on Amazon in the next few days, how about a synopsis. The trailer on the site wasn't too heavy on solutions.

Oh, thanks for the interest dude, but I'm really not gonna watch it again to take notes... off the top of my head it was basically about the more you make, the more taxes you pay & the more you pay your employees to keep the economy that makes you wealthy thriving so you can remain rich, and your country strong so being rich is a lasting thing & not a countdown to self destruction.

Well, of course. But it still has to start somewhere, and that's generally with discussions prompted by stuff like this.

Its as if you're stomping your feet, angry that we're not at the end of the race, and so in protest, you'll never start.

And to summarize:

1. The 1% has corraled nearly all the money ... and they're not so much
for trickle down right now in the USA. We Understand the Problem.
Chris: "how it might once again be made right."

2. The Dumbing down of America has been incredibly successful. Does that
need its own thread?
I'd planned to do a 2nd post: The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America
by Charlotte T. Iserbyt but haven't checked it out yet.

3. What to Do about It is on Us, We the People. We have always been very
resourceful. ... Proposed solutions need its own thread - not? Tack it
on to here works for me.
The 'Net may already abound with good ideas.

Ummmmm, yeah. You understood that was the plan right?
Trickle down is part and parcel Reaganomics. Cut the tax rates, trickle down follows. Obama understands this is the way to grow the economy, so he has instituted 5 years of tax rate hikes, producing a stop to the trickle down effect.

I guess I really will be waiting for it to show up on Netflix.

Maybe they weren't wrong, at all. 7 billion slaves is a bit many to keep
track of.

Logan's Run is one.

Domes. I can't even touch their fictional history. Haven't domed
cities & farms with controlled weather always been a staple of sci-fi?
Some real ones may already exist.

Saffron returned to Mal & offered a job on the planet Balerephon ...
estates are islands in the sky. Islands in the Sky, Arthur C. Clarke,
1952. As sci-fi was well started in the 50's, I don't suggest that
Clarke invented the 1st sky-floating habitats. However, for now,
space stations can be habitats, as they don't require antigravity.

Cities in Flight, James Blish.
Not gonna talk about all the underwater cities ... those scare me.

Some writers always just assumed we'd fix everything up to suit
ourselves. Technology would make it all possible.
