We’re all suffering the impact of #neoliberalism in one way or another. Growing #WealthInequity due to #FinancialDeregulations; increasing #CostOfLiving due to #Greedflation; and low quality of #SocialServices delivery due to #StateCapture. So it’s no surprise that we live in an economic climate ripe for another dambusting crash that will take us all down with it. Of course, it can all be stopped before there’s no way out of the disaster (both economic and ecological). All that is required is political will. If a madman like #tRump is able to upend USian social and democratic institutions to suit his liking, imagine what a social minded leader could do. It’s not as if no one knows of alternatives to deliver better outcomes for all.
Here is an Australian perspective:

The only individuals pulling up ladders are those in positions of #power (#political or #financial) to preserve their #self-interests. It was ever so and will remain that way until we, the people, come up with an #economic model that will curtail it (we’re still looking for that model, but there are candidates to look at). I don’t see #generational #warfare here, though it can be clothed that way as a means of shifting blame, anger, and attention away from the actual perpetrators, in what is, and always was #ClassWarfare (I.e. those in power cover multiple generations and hapless individuals are brainwashed by their propaganda).
I don’t wish to get into an argument about this. I’m just trying to inject some ‘moderation’ in the discourse. Does the #BlameGame push my buttons? Yes it does. Perhaps I should leave well enough alone and not inject myself in conversations when that happens. Experience tells me it rarely ends well. It appears I’m still learning that lesson.

This is a bit rich, and frankly completely stupid. Some wackjob dishonestly using #Biology to deny what biology already proves. #Gender is not a #BinaryLabel, #Sex is not #BiologicallyBinary. The science has been in for centuries. What these birdbrain people are really about (with apologies to all birds for this misrepresentation) is pure, unadulterated #bigotry laced with heavy doses of #insecurity emerging from #UnfoundedFears. There is of course some pity to be served to those individuals who have been #Brainwashed by the #Patriarchy and the #ChristoFascists currently making noises in our society disproportionate to their numbers.
FFS, people… wake up to yourselves! This member’s bill will never get up or even be discussed in any Parliamentary forum. Dustbin and fire it its only fate leaving behiind an ugly stain on the Member, their party and their electorate.
And for goodness sake electorates, stop voting for these #Fascist and #Libertarian candidates, it does your reputation no good at all, nor does it foster an inclusive and democratic society.

Democrats don’t get why they’ve lost most working class voters

'Those who wanted to slash the government back to the form it had taken in the 1920s, when businessmen ran it, had a problem. American voters liked the business regulation, basic social safety net, and infrastructure construction of the new system. To combat that popularity, the anti–New Deal Republicans insisted that the U.S. government was sliding toward communism'
Billionaires are creating more socialists than socialists could ever hope to.
We live in a reality where Walmart employees beg for donations and people are afraid to go to the hospital

Maybe I’m an exception. Without turning this toot into a book, let me affirm right here that for this #boomer, life has been just as hard as it has been for anyone born after my generation. I’ll add that I was only able to afford my own house at the age of 72 and only with the help of close family members . Nothing has been given to me on a plate as an adult just because I grew up in the post-war years of relatively favourable redistribution of wealth — all of which, and more, has been clawed back in the last 40 yrs or so. As a parting shot, let me just say that all of our collective problems (talking about the 90% of our society) stem from the #neoliberalism which has ensured run-away inequity and the concentration of wealth in the remaining 10% — because we’ve *All* allowed it to occur (due to apathy, brain-washing, stupidity, misinformed, and/or many other faux pas) since the late 70s. All of this to say, I grow tired of all the finger pointing to a single generation for all the ills suffered by society since then. Believe me when I say, I never voted/asked for any of it.
Our first step out of this mess is a simple one, *Join Your Union* and fight for what is due to us all.
