I'd like govt to be honest about the era of downscaling, re-localization and simplification we've now entered.
I'd like govt to stop misallocating funds by giving to banks that are not helping our cities and States; instead govt should be allocating those funds for our people to re-tool and re-learn many of the skills we've lost in these decades of forced materialism and consumerism.
Would someone please be realist about the dire dilemma Industrial society now finds itslef in?
I want government to protect me from business excess and bad behavior - no more than really necessary, but just enough for my safety and protection.
Business isn't very good at doing the right thing by itself.
