I recently wrote a think piece on formulating an equitable political-economy where the key component is universal education and the ability it has to give all an opportunity to discover where their talents lie.
'Beyond the Pale' meaning outside the bounds of acceptable behaviour.
This is how one could charitably describe the sinking Empire's race to the bottom.
Lost Russia, losing Africa, haemorrhaging influence over former colonies/markets to Russia & China and on a seemingly frictionless crippling downward spiral that'll take a generation, probably two to recover from, if ever. Talk about shooting oneself in the lungs!
The current mediocrity masquerading as our Representation, more like glorified rent-boys are very much aware of the above but are either clueless or unwilling to face the music, recognise the folly of their current wayward paths, instead we're witnessing DeepSeek denial, can-kicking, robbing Peter to pay Paul, papering over the cracks. When this bubble erupts they'll be pulling teeth from rectums.
Watching Russia-BRICS-Allies go from strength to strength, planning their courses to the middle of the 21st Century and beyond must feel like a death sentence to the guardians of Empire Old.
An SF taxicab medallion used to be earned by working, supposedly.
Now thanks to Aaron Peskin who drove thru prop A, they are sold, but have little value after UberLyftwhores did their magic of digital colonialization.
How much do you think those folks pieced off Peskin to corrupt an otherwise slightly honest taxicab system?

Maybe tis all that hair he has on his body, he don't think he himself is human?

Your last paragraph makes so much sense to me, Karl. Isn't win-win the way most of us live our lives?
We try, but powerful forces often intervene that we find very difficult to overcome.

If they could monetise the air we breathe a lot of us wouldn't make it.
