People have to be convinced to go on a general strike. USA spent $5 billion in Ukraine, so with 10 times the population it will take $50 billion to get things going.
You always trade billionaires. People don’t act on their own so there is always essentially one rich group fighting another.
The fascinating thing is that there is no billionaire group opposing Trump. So there must be a convincing argument to keep everybody in line.
Yes, I would think so. But then there must be a plan, a convincing plan that is more advanced than enslaving everybody, all the while nobody is leaking it.
I am not happy with any explanation so far.
He. The one whose name we don’t speak. Putin?
Russia lost in Syria. There is no way Putin is in control.
That’s not a plan. The power of the USA are their natural resources and the drive of its population. If people stop believing, progress will stop like in the USSR and China will take over.
And a president controlled by Russia? That doesn’t make sense.
No, they don’t have to leave for consequences. If they don’t leave and don’t go to work, civilization will stop and Trump cannot continue. Then if there is a joined demand for a new election, it either gets ugly if Trump tries to sit it out or a new election will happen.
But there needs to be a billionaire leader who pays for the expenses because people on their own are stuck in their routines.
What’s the plan? The idea of those stupid freedom cities can’t blind them all.
If China takes over, China will most likely end hunger and they will dominate all markets. Even if billionaires thrive on misery, they will not thrive for long if the USA declines.
There must be diversity among billionaires.
Also most of them are losing money and will lose even much more money. If it is all about money they must do something now.
Will the police side with Trump if the CEO of Ford, Boeing or McDonalds support the strike? (on behalf of the owners)
But even if it is only one billionaire, there is no need to confront the police. Unlike before people don’t have to meet but can organize online. If everybody stays home, there is no threat from the police.
Besides, why would the police side with a Russian asset?
It doesn’t make sense. All the rich old men grew up with Russia being bad. Just the president being compromised should make them act. The president actively dismantling their power in the world is beyond accepable. And yet, nothing happens.
How can the American elite suppress workers with ease but they are helpless now that their president is controlled by Russia?
Nobody with power is acting on this, or any of the policies that destroy the economy.
What is the compromat that Trump has on the thousand American billionaires?
One billionaire financing the organization of a general strike would be enough.
Why does that not happen?
It’s like machines replacing farm hands. It’s the end of feudalism because the peasants are not needed anymore. The feudal lords won’t make the profits but the factory owners and the mining owners.
If the AI companies are the mines, what are the factories?
With AI, essentially everybody starts at middle management or above because the grunt work is automated. Now it’s all about allocating resources, acquiring clients and creating new products.
Somebody has to monitor the AIs and write the prompts. It’s middle management for everybody.
It’s one vote away. Every bigger city can have one school for early birds and one for night owls. Then parents can start work whenever they want. For that, companies can have flexible starting times. If they work in shifts, allow people to trade shifts so that some do all the early and some do all the late shifts.
Without artificial light, there were no sleep problems because more than enough hours were darkness. People took breaks from sleep.
The answer is maturity. Structure does not hurt if it is chosen voluntarily. It feels good to do things exactly as intended.
Waking up at 6:30 doesn’t hurt if sleep started early and without being drunk.
The big tragedy is that society does everything to keep as many people as possible in a state of disarray. People to whom life is as described above don’t have the will to leave bad employment situations behind.
China, India, The Americas, Australia, many parts of Africa? Life was good there.
Even Europe was not that bad. If you had many more free days, work that was meaningful and unprocessed food, how bad would it be to die earlier? In total, they still had more days of life for themselves.
That paragraph was not meant to be in support of human trafficing.
Let me add that there is a huge incentive to keep Mexico and the rest of the Americas in a state of disarray. Individual success stories don’t outweight the overall cruelty of the current arrangement.
How do you recognize a slave? There is no need for chains to make people work against their will.
Whoever dreads monday morning doesn’t have to be worried about slavery anymore.
Have you tried moving? The chains are already there.
No disagreement from me. Most likely it will get worse.
