29. Present system should work.
Wed Sep 18, 2024, 11:54 AM
Sep 2024

And has worked well in the past. There is naught wrong with the basic system.

The nature of the society is the tell. We, as a society, have become corrupt and the interpretation of the Rule of Law has become corrupt. The driver of these corruptions is enormous greed which has given rise to the most massive pools of wealth/power the world has ever seen. New territory.

Very hard to reverse that.

I hope that the above makes some sense. My morning ritual puff has settled gently in but at least, I hope, more coherent than tsf.
