     @thecharmingcompany Burning it all down (i.e destroying the system) is significantly harder than just accepting the status quo, and is much more effective.

     @Radical_EgoCom you're right. That's the point. My ancestors had an easier system to rebel against. We have 1 being built by people who think they are dismantling it. For example, wasn't Twitter supposed to be a rebellion against the 20th century media model? And it became...?

     @Radical_EgoCom we might take that deal if we defined their prosperity. Offshore cash positions are like liquor stores in Prohibition Chicago. Everyone knew where the booze was. No 1.wamted to cross Capone. Same here. We know where the cancer is. We simply require leadership willing to cross the current version of the big noises. Collect taxes. Make offshore cash illegal. Open the books. Pay the dignified wage. Reform every level of organisation. I can hear my ancestors now. Telling me that burning it all down is a lot easier.
