Billions are suffering so a few could live in luxury and exploit the People

Enough money to buy countries. We the People are powerless. What is the solution?

Get more money so we can have enough money to buy countries

"We" the people?

Frankly, I doubt that any one poster can speak for "all" people.

I don't begrudge the success of others, and don't feel particularly powerless even if my prize possession is a spaniel -- who doesn't really feel like property as much as a "life style" coach. (Spaniels know how to relax and be happy instead of frequently worrying or getting upset).

I wouldn't expect to have vast wealth unless I, too, did something astonishing -- like start several huge companies. Perhaps even companies that build ground-breaking vehicles or launch rockets into space -- or make actual computers available in the home -- or phones available in pants pockets and purses! -- and employ thousands or even tens of thousands of others while doing so, helping MANY families.

I would be MUCH more puzzled and uncertain if some dictator or other, more routine politician who crooned "oooh, like, power to the people! You know?" (or something) yet ended up generating great personal wealth in office while making a government salary. THAT might puzzle me.

But even then, I'd still try to stay in touch with my inner spaniel.

What are "we" to do if we hope for great wealth? Work hard and do something really creative and useful that lawfully and properly helps many, many. many people. Admittedly, that's not at all easy to accomplish. Perhaps that's why many who DO accomplish that seem to start early.

But some do accomplish it! And I don't dislike them for it. They tend to pay more tax in a year -- and often contribute more to charity in a year -- than I'll make in several lifetimes, myths (or oddities) to the contrary, notwithstanding.

And some don't even have to launch rockets into space! Take any famous musician or athlete, for example, and check out how long and hard they practiced and worked on their talent, often when others were taking it easy, and often well before they had much assurance that they'd even succeed.

Sure, it can be fun to play sports or make music -- but to do it well, it's also typically a mind-boggling amount of work before success occurs. Check out the history of Beethoven and Mozart. Or of any famous piano player, actually. Or of Michael Jordan.

I'm glad that in this world some people really CAN still realize enormous dreams, even if I can't.

Of course, I sympathize with any living under an oppressive dictatorship. If I lived under such a dictatorship, I'd hope to move to some other nation --like the United States, or any of several nations in Europe or Asia or South America. There are many such still-free nations to choose from.

Let's hope that continues.

EAT THE RICH!!!!!!!!! BURN IT ALL DOWN!

Things will take their course no matter what.
There doesn't seem to be anything else to say about it.

Yes, but the course of things might not be the same depending on whether I fart before or after the Duke of York has left the elevator. What would be your recommendation?

Dude, you’ve got a North Korean flag on your profile and you keep spouting socialist rallying calls with no context. How long do you think you can keep this up before people start to get suspicious? Or is that the point? I honestly don’t know where you’re going with this.

Suspicious of what? I mean plenty if people over there are spouting far-right propaganda non-stop, are we supposed to feel suspicious too?
