Unfortunately I do. I'm not sure what else to say. I've written a sentence and then deleted three times. I appreciate that it sounds defeatist and that's not what I believe. I just see too many people complaining about situations they say need fixing without any mention of how they think that can happen. Many of the fixes would be detrimental the the economy because that is ultimately the problem in the first place, that we rely so heavily on it's structure. There are hundreds of approaches to the thousands of issues we face but if you tried to run for government outlining the hard fixes to pursue, you would be run out of town. I for one plan to be run out of town pretty soon, as soon as my domestic circumstances allow me the freedom to "kick bubble gum and chew ass". God I laughed at that South Park line.

Thanks for the link but I don't have the cognitive capacity to comprehend the meaning anymore. Suffice it to say that no matter what our laws it would be a long court battle. Let's gooooo.
I love the vibe but we would have to address the legalities. Once that is done we would also have to come to grips with foreign investment drying up. I say we can do it, but nobody, including yourself, would be willing to accept the resulting standard of living. I'm not sure how we get from under the current system but we should be pursuing that at every turn.
I understand people all too well. My belief is everyone is justified in their approach to life by either genetics or experience and should be free to express and act on these within the confines of the law. But I also believe that to disguise our opposition to some beliefs and to not call out something as "stupid", which is a very general term that can be ascribed to a variety of demographics, is wrong. I believe in peoples right to free speech, but question the freedom to lie (what is a lie?). I admire and support the efforts to empathize with all people but I also recognize that if those efforts leads to the loss of the battle for freedom and equality then it must be treated as a secondary consideration.
Sorry about that. I'm getting way too angry at how stupid people are.
The excuse that any system that creates jobs should be kept alive for that reason is ridiculous. What is your response the the AI and robotics industry that continues to eliminate jobs until there are none left? How will our "system" handle that?
I've been thinking for years that if we're going to keep that corporate definition then we should designate that the entity is represented by the members of the boards. Any judgement leveled against the corporation would be applied to each board member in kind. I'm thinking more of the jail side than the fine side.
