We need leaders that think long term about the health of people instead of short

@desertscrub

We don’t have that.

A society as wealthy as ours has a moral obligation to meet the basic needs of all of its members.

@desertscrub;

Everyone knows that in America It is the sufferings of the many that pay for the life of opulence and luxuries of the few.

Everyone knows that the wealthy didn’t earn their wealth by working hard and being honest.

Everyone knows that the 1% is the wealthy collusion of business and politicians along with celebrities that benefit from the American System of Government.

An ideal distribution of wealth is one that assures that no individual is entirely without the means of housing and sustenance, and no individual has inordinate wealth.

OP - you are correct of course. If the "new normal" is shutting down the economy to save lives, the government will absolutely have to take over HC and create a UBI. Sad but true.

People in a society have a moral obligation to contribute to society, yet people like Clark Kent thinkj that people who contribute owe an obligation to leeches. Socialism is a scam whereby government drones hget a good life stealing from those who contribute and using those funds to buy votes. Its the whole reason democrats want open borders.

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”

@desertscrub

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of greed, exploitation, genocide, racism and war that the bright daybreak of generosity, sharing, brotherhood, love and peace can never become a reality.

There is a right and a wrong in the universe, and that distinction is not hard to make.

The good people will have an ideal to strive for truth and justice, and virtue shall triumph at the end.

Kent I don't know whether you are trolling but you make statements that diametrically oppose one another all of the time.

"Everyone knows that the wealthy didn’t earn their wealth by working hard and being honest."

then a few posts down you write "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of greed, exploitation, genocide, racism and war that the bright daybreak of generosity, sharing, brotherhood, love and peace can never become a reality."

c'mon man give it a rest, you aren't any better than anyone else, you just think you are.

He is a troll by definition

@Uprightcitizen

Governments have used both violence and propaganda/indoctrination against their own people in so-called Democratic, Socialist, Communist, Capitalist, Liberal, Fascist societies/countries.

If solutions within these system are so difficult to find then maybe we should abandon these systems

I haven’t lost faith in the power of common good people to speak up for the truth and justice.

The general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community interests, guided by values of solidarity and sympathy and concern for each other.

If I go to a SC and one dancer only gets off her phone long enough for a mandatory stage set while another dancer is working her ass off to make my visit memorable who do you think deserves my money. Yes there are a lot of uber rich who have done nothing but win the gene lottery but most who are financially comfortable got that way by working.

The general population taking control is called a BLM protest; riots and looting.

@gobstopper “If I go to a SC and one dancer only gets off her phone long enough for a mandatory stage set while another dancer is working her ass off to make my visit memorable who do you think deserves my money.”

Is this a trick question? The hotter one. Duh.

Bad day soliciting old men got ya down desert? I'm sorry you're stuck being you, but you drew the short straw sonny.

We dont have leaders only clowns
