I agree that we are badly in want of strong leaders who are for Peace. The main problem that I see is that some of the countries that are currently making war, is that they posses atom bombs. Another problem is that institutions like ONU who exist to prevent and intervene in conflicts between countries seem to be losing power and authority in a moment when they are most needed.
The Russians are trying to take the money out of war right now. We will have to see how they do. I have seen similar comments about New York Banks and Hitler before, but found that J.P. Morgan and Company did not do business with Hitle after some point in the late '30'sr and closed their Paris branch. The NAZI's seized the bank building and everything left and ran the branched un the Morgan name, but that was in name only, and I believe the same was true of Chase. I wonder about the Bolsheviks.

Want to prevent war? Easy: take all profit out of war and we shall have Peace. Read Professor Antony Sutton's books: Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler & Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution Both are superbly well documented and reveal how wealthy elites (mostly Republican) profit from war.

More and greater fools have kept bitcoin going.
Interesting post re: bitcoin. Have heard of many failures and its volatility... haven't heard of many legitimate successes, but there must be some else it would have bust by now I guess. I think the hassle of regulation will be its ultimate demise, but who knows... they prolly have great lobbyists with deep pockets. Ta ! (short for tarradiddle), tailor
Good grief ! Hoping all is proceeding well. Your experience would be worthy of a modernistic Skaldic epic. Enjoyed this from the .pdf: "They drained the blood from Quash’s pale corpse, blended it with the sweetest of honey, and then left the mixture to brew in a barrel. The mead they created was so intoxicating that anyone who had even the tinniest sip would utter honey sweet words and poetry would rush from their mouth like a fierce river." - note: the act of copying and pasting the text hazarded much editing in itself. Interesting tradition of poetry worthy of studying further Pray all is well, Ta ! (short for tarradiddle), tailor
Probably not, because we already know that democracy is not a good system for government, but Having someone who is stationed off Earth might be a good idea, but using a non-human as overseer would not be a good idea, because such a character would not understand human behavior. So I will move to another planet and rule through viceroys.
Interesting read. Perhaps a benevolent off world alien despot overseeing the democracys of countries... eliminating states as governmental agents Ta ! (short for tarradiddle), tailor
Perhaps the media people should be the first ones to tr out the pillories.
Interesting thoughts. I believe that sensational foibles are more public nowadays. As with a baseball analogy one just didn't write/spread what happened on and off the field with teammates, it was a code not to be broken. Certain other figures, politicians included, were even protected by the press for a long time. Ethical erosion will always be with us. The popular phrase "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" and the street creed never ""rat out"/squeal/snitch" are tribal affectations that no longer apply to media, politics, et al. I'd hate to see pillories become popular, but nowadays the media is its own exposé, judge, jury, and executioner. Ta ! (short for tarradiddle), tailor
Kindergarten or similar may help, but I think the most important thing is the education one receives at home. And people change a lot from a generation to the next. I think today people are more outspoken and less polite. I also feel uncomfortable at social gatherings, for example parties, unless I know all the people. I am very shy, but one develops some mechanisms to hide the shyness. I fully agree that social media makes people less social. On line people sometimes are more aggressive and say things they wouldn't if confronted physically with the other person. But grabbing a stranger on the street is weird. On the other hand social communication through the internet can be soothing and helpful in times of forced isolation like pandemics. But I don't like social media with its gossip and hate waves. I prefer forums, which are more friendly. .
I never went to kindergarten... might explain a lot; I'm always uncomfortable in social settings to the point of anxiety where I eke by with medication. I'd be apt to put someone in the hospital by accident if someone grabbed me unawares. People where I live believe they have a right to their own rules living in the country... especially when it comes to the rules of the road... most annoying and potentially deadly. As it is, I get by with all the zaniness society has to offer by living a tenet from my faith: to be in the world but not of the world. I get your point about social media making people less social.

I was doing some study on Paul Dirac for a poem... he had created what one might call a breakthrough with his massive contribution in physics that helped lay the groundwork for a standard model. At dirac speed he encouraged the few he would speak to set it all behind and create other theories to pursue the beauty that lay beyond
Both happened, because the dollar lost value, so they increaased the number of dollars for something. Pay inflation and retail inflation are effects of thje underlying problem.
I may be seeing double here... economics seems to be a shell game played by grifters; one gets a raise and then the goods industry raises their prices accordingly in addition to a % for the CEO and shareholders for their inconvenience for having to raise their prices Ta !

And what does it say about a society that lets its people live in barely livable conditions?
Homelessness is so tragic in this state/country and never far from my mind because it's in my face everywhere I go. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer... it never ends. Had institutions had the proper humanity and funds required to serve the infirm perhaps they would have survived. Meanwhile those in the lower- middleclass are becoming the new homeless due to property barons, corporate greed, and inept public servants. No relief in sight.
