@Radical_EgoCom Evidence- all new drugs to treat illness & diseases. The very thing on which we are communicating, the internet. The list is endless.
Look as I stated initially, I agree that there should be strong social protections to cover the health & wellbeing of the populace, but to argue that innovation which will benefit everyone will occur simply from the altruism of the innovator is simply naive. There must be a melding of ideologies.

@Radical_EgoCom The most innovative ideas are generated because people think they can make money off it, ergo capitalism. I will never agree that the majority of true innovation will occur because of the sole desire to improve the quality of life of the populace. It’s to improve the life of the innovators.
Even in socialist systems, there exists a hierarchy which is determined because someone deems them more important. That is essentially imbedded capitalism within the socialist ideology.

@Radical_EgoCom You can’t have true innovation without capitalism. You can’t take care of the needs of the people without Socialism. Hence a merging of the ideologies is necessary. The concept is simple. The details are difficult.

@Radical_EgoCom Neither ideology in its pure state is without fault, so an amalgamation of the 2 will always be the best recourse. That’s where the debate begins, but I would lean to a minimum 60/40 Socialism/Capitalism blending. The devil though is in the details.

@Radical_EgoCom I’m not against multiple parties, though it works better in a Parliamentary system. Any third party should be built from the bottom up by building a strong base of support & proven victories in lesser races, I.e. congressional. To try first in a Presidential election is doomed to failure & virtually guaranteed to bring the exact opposite results you pursue. A second Trump term will prove disastrous for workers long term. Vote Harris, then do the hard work to form a workers party.

@Radical_EgoCom despite grievances, EVERYONE should vote for Harris or risk the probability of a fascist state. Address problems after.

@hallenbeck @spurs personally, I only want to deal with one social media site & after trashing Fbook then Twitter, presently it’s Masto. I haven’t looked at any other site as a result. If BlueSky is that significantly better, then perhaps I will check it out, but available time is always the issue.
