None HitwonderRich white men born in the 30s and 40s have been in charge of everything for the majority of my life, and never ever even once have they ever proven to be any good at it.
\\\\\\\\\\\...@nonehitwonder At least they will all be dead soon.
@11backslashes true, though it's a cold comfort when they've robbed us for our entire lives and will never be held to account.

Sounds like they've done an excellent job at being in charge. For them, that is.

@shadowdancer @11backslashes I think you and I can agree that, objectively, this is not what successfully running everything looks like.
@nonehitwonder
Well I sure do agree with you on their lack of success.
But can it be said so objectively? What do you think they'd say?
Look, all I'm saying is we have our perspective and they have theirs and they sure aren't going to change their ways.
All we can do is fight back and actively strive to change things.

@shadowdancer @11backslashes I'm a bit confused by all the people in my replies trying to both-sides this particular point, whether to attempt comedy or rueful cynicism, but it feels like a bad-faith interpretation of a pretty clear statement.
If being objective means putting personal feelings aside to make an assessment based on facts and measurable results, then I would maintain that, objectively, the job of running everything being done is being done poorly. If the job were "acquire all the wealth at the expense of anyone but yourself," then objectively they could be considered a success, but that, I hope you can agree, is not what the job is supposed to be.
Otherwise I'm on board with your position that it's up to us.
