🇺🇲 Trump's String of Successes 🤔
https://www.dcreport.org/2025/07/06/trumps-string-of-successes
#ProblemHeadline
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini ... had strings of success - until they didn't.
It's authoritarianism backed by wealth, power & influence.
Dangerous & deranged in his own right, Trump is a puppet.

The US is ranked #6 in the world for extreme income inequality. That's right. You can literally count on one hand the countries that do it worse than us.
You want to know why one of the wealthiest countries in the world (when looked at in aggregate) is disintegrating before our very eyes? That's the reason.

the systemic and fatal mistake of modern day monopoly capitalism = modern day #feudalism not #education or #intelligence earns most #money, no whoever owns #assets everyone else is dependant on = #exploitation = will ultimately lead to less #innovation + destruction of #mankind,, #rich vs #poor #inequality growing rapidly = #collapse of #society thank you
= no matter how #smart #people or #government are or act: will lose game to whoever prints #money and buys + owns the #assets (#bank, #centralbank)
the #solution: every Dollar or Euro or Pesos invested in your own #INDEPENDENCE from the #financesystem is well invested. #water, #food, #energy, DO IT NOW!

Hmm... wonder why so many people keep putting themselves in harm's way just to leave their home for good and go to another country where the natives may not even want them. Hmm... weird huh?!
That is what #climatechange is worsening - the already insane #inequality and terrible prospects in poor countries.
We have to help the migrants in better ways. A theme I explore in "A New Faith"

Trump is following blueprint laid out by long-standing force in U.S. foreign policy: neocons who backed the Iraq War 20 years ago
Comment: endless wars driven by industrial complexes (corporations) that profit off of human misery.

THIS IS NOT PROGRESS.
I THOUGHT THE FUTURE WOULD BE KINDER 💎
I am old now.
I have lived through seven decades and remember when there was a fairly ordinary expectation that the next generation might have a better life than we did.
Not a perfect life. JUST A DECENT LIFE. A HOME you can afford. FOOD without anxiety at the checkout. ELECTRICITY without wondering: Should I turn on the heat?
WORK that paid enough to live. Some security if one becomes sick, disabled, unemployed, or, God forbid, old. And perhaps enough left over to actually ENJOY BEING ALIVE.
I look at the world now, and I am deeply disappointed. Not because young people are doing anything wrong. Quite the opposite. I think we have handed them an UNNECESSARILY DIFFICULT WORLD.
Housing has become an investment vehicle before it is a home. Essential services have become opportunities for vast profits. People work and still struggle to pay their rent. PEOPLE POSTPONE HAVING A CHILD BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD ONE.
People in wealthy countries worry about FOOD, POWER BILLS, and whether they WILL EVER OWN A PLACE OF THEIR OWN. And meanwhile, astonishing amounts of wealth accumulate in astonishingly few hands.
I am old enough to know that every generation thinks the world is going to hell. So I try not to indulge in that thinking. There is still enormous KINDNESS, CREATIVITY, HUMOUR, AND DECENCY EVERYWHERE I LOOK.
But economically and socially?
WE SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER THAN THIS.
A civilisation should not become richer while ORDINARY PEOPLE become more frightened about meeting their ORDINARY NEEDS.
That is not progress.
I don’t expect paradise. I do expect a society wealthy enough to make an ordinary human life possible without keeping millions of people in a permanent state of fear about money.
At seventy, that is one of my greatest disappointments.
We had the resources. We had the knowledge to build a decent life for everyone.
We still do.
What seems to be missing is the decision that ordinary human lives matter more than endlessly increasing somebody else's pile of money.
