Lula decide visitar Juiz de Fora, cidade onde Bolsonaro foi esfaqueado

We’ve all seen the changes in socioeconomic strategies around the world as various nations elect different leadership and choose for themselves a different way to play it. Today there are all sorts of composites on long the main themes we see in governments structures which span across the three major historical socioeconomic strategies; communism, socialism, and capitalism. Is there something to be learned from a hybrid system, or is it just prostituting the best part of another? That is hard to say, and yet today I would like to speak to the end game of these various strategies if I might.

Today at Starbucks, I was talking to a painter, he is self-employed, and runs a good little business. Although the economy isn’t so great, he is booked up all summer long and is trying to schedule 2 weeks where he can take a vacation and go to some beach city along the coast, because we live in a very hot desert in the summertime. He’d like to get more help, but he told me he has to train people, otherwise they just slow him down. He has two helpers which are quite good, but he could easily use two more, he pays them about $18 per hour.

Well, we are told to respect authority, and we sit in classrooms, go to college, and/or are indoctrinated into this sort of “respect for the people in charge” motif. However, whenever we turn around we find out we’ve been lied to, or someone has misrepresented the facts. What I’m speaking to is all the bogus economic data that is purported around the planet. It seems that the regulators always go after corporations for misrepresenting their financial position, or painting too starry of a picture. But the same government which hosts those regulatory bodies, well, that is there standard operating procedure.

It is amazing how much crony capitalism goes on in America. We see it at almost every turn. It’s hardly ever advertised or marketed as such because the dastardly deeds which go on happen behind the scenes. Sometimes we learn about it in hindsight, and then it becomes so readily apparent what had transpired, often due to the lack of transparency by the very folks who promised such transparency during their last election campaigns.

With our civilisation heading for environmental disaster, the article attempts to answer the question of how we might be able to change our course and seek a way of life that is both desirable and sustainable. It also examines who should take the lead role in social transformation.
