I watched "Where to Invade Next" last night.

86. America needs to get MORE right wing. THAT'll cure what ails us!

This country is disappointing to the point of despair. I really thought we would grow up by now.

Our problem is that we're run by a bunch of rich mostly white male third-basers who come from entire lineages of rich third-basers. They'll never see the perspective of PoC, women, the LGBTQI community or the middle/working/poor, because 99% of the time, they never WERE from any of these groups. That's why these groups are either imprisoned or left to "rugged individualize" their own futures; they almost never get a voice or a say in how things work . . . you know, unless they're Republican.

I recently responded to a thread on billionaire estates . . . to the shock of little, almost no one listed made their fortune completely on their own. They either married into wealth, inherited it from their parents or got it through screwing a group of people over or linked to crime.
