Trump hits new low in approval poll
#64
(01-28-2021, 10:25 AM)Einzige Wrote: Biden and Trump are both controlled by Capital. They act in the interest of whatever faction of Capital they represent - even with the most "radical" proposed Democratic policies, e.g. the GND, the interests of Capital take precedence (the GND is an elaborate systems of subsidies and tariffs, not a program of nationalization and requisition, which might make a slight difference).

Let’s look at what might be the crisis issues.

COVID:  Yes, getting a valid vaccine guarantees profits.  Making enough PPE generates profits.  I don’t think for most people that is the most important motivations.  Compare it to grandma dying or finding a vaccine.  Family or scientific motivations are also important.

The economic fallout from COVID:  Yes.  In a way it is all about the all mighty dollar.  In a way, though, it is about your kids going hungry or not having a roof over their heads.

BLM:  There are other forms of oppression than economic.  While keeping the people oppressed does have a financial element, having the cops kill minorities is hardly an economic issue.

Red Violence:  Were the capitol rioters thinking of making big bucks?  Keeping someone you like in power is not primarily financial.

Honoring Science:  Should we let big lies permeate the culture.  Should we make policies which we know go against the science?  Yes, profits of big oil are involved, as is jobs in green industry.  No, the basic issue is basing decisions on what it real.

There are just a lot of ways of looking at this stuff.  Condensing it to one angle to look at all problems is oversimplification.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
