US must put values over profit? The very value this country thrives on is, profit. We no longer care about the general welfare or the greater good. We are more interested in our own selves. it’s why social media is so potent. Even the military is not immune from this; what’s in it for me generation. Tribalism is everywhere.
Alright fine go ahead and keep giving them our jobs, businesses, factories, and economy and let them grow powerful do you want that?
@I AM FREE Funny you should state that. Those same businesses are the ones who often jump ship for cheapest labor, tax breaks, and highest profit margins. Why do you think most of the automotive industries are abroad? Tech industries are also moving abroad. Look at Apple. Even Trump clothes are made in sweat shops.
@Sparky’s Imagination If you argue for everyone paying their fair share then you’d be accused of being a socialist.
Part of capitalism is to establish class warfare. The elites are now something to be admired, unless you’re the Hollywood elite. American oligarchs are more embolden. They set up and rigged the system to their favor. It’s why dark money and deep states are calling the shots. Oligarchs are warring on each other. Mercer versus Soros. Bloomberg versus Murdoch.
@Jackyc1234 Clark The way this country is heading, it’s eventually going to implode on itself. When plutocracy becomes the new government, revolution is inevitable. Ethics and morality goes out the window in a plutocracy.
@Leo Peridot
You may have something there .
When a government would rather operate as a business than a protector of it’s people, then it’s time to reassess your loyalties.
@Censorship Is real you are a liar
@Gary Katzenmaier denial must be your safe space.
Isn’t that the truth!
I feel the same way to bad the Senate Republicans don’t see it they would rather had a Authoritarian the Grifter Trump a Treasonous Traitor to the United states of America!!!!!!
@MYBABYSEXYASS LOVEBRNI1 says the propaganda puppet
“History is moving forward and the world will not go back to what it was in the past.
Each country is unique, with it’s own history, culture and social system and none is superior to the other.
The right choice is for countries to pursue peaceful co-existence based on mutual respect and on expanding
common ground while shelving differences to promote exchanges and mutual learning”. – Xi Jinping.
The logic is flawless.
The US has prioritize profits over their own people as well, so it makes sense that democracy is under threat here as well.
Yeah…okay…I guess you were banned like Donald Trump off social media and being accused of insurrection from deviating slightly from the talking points
Yes , now they have these wealthy hedge fund managers on TV hand wringing over the projected inflation that will be caused by increasing social entitlements so they are economically motivated to be against it cause they are already ENTITLED
Agreed.
Profit is pretty much all that most people in management seem to care about. Then there’s the hard working people who are just looking for a fair deal and mostly not finding it.
Profit is what keeps the hard working people employed. The minimum wage has never been raised above $0.
Truth must lead the way to clarity. Truth is what IS, as it is in all it’s layers and levels in this eternal now as creation within and externally. It really makes you think about freedom of speech.
It’s sad that it ever was profits over value
It is so repulsive, even Chinese in Hong kong can’t get away fast enough from the regime.
Putting Values over Profit is what the USA ought to apply on itself too… End money into Politics for instance…. end “The Big Lie” …
Yep, it all begins at home. Moronic US is too busy deflecting and blaming others. For once in your history, blame yourself so you can actually improve. Maybe it is too much to ask. 🙂
Never happen, wall street runs Washington. Case closed.
“Stay out of our affairs” hummmm, who does that sound like here in the US?
“Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors.”
― Charles Bukowski
“You cannot vote Wall Street out because you have never voted them in.”
― Chris Hedges
P
Neoliberalism, a Nobel prize winning social-economic theory turned ideology, where more is never enough and sustainability a dirty word, with low taxes for the trickle di trickle da trickery done effects
“U.S. Must Put Values Over Profits”
That’s what the US is known for >_<
We honestly weren’t that way before the 80s…
If the GQP has their way we’ll be under the exact same kind of rule, only dressed up differently.
