WE DEMAND A WORLD OF UNIVERSAL ABUNDANCE, NOT WEALTH FOR THE FEW AND WANT FOR THE MANY

 WE DEMAND A WORLD OF UNIVERSAL ABUNDANCE, NOT WEALTH FOR THE FEW AND WANT FOR THE MANY


We live in an age of wonder and abundance. Thanks to the wisdom and achievements of the world's 9 million scientists, and the hard work of the world's 3.3 billion workers, we live in an age when everybody can have a life of abundance and even luxury

There is no reason why every family in the world shouldn't have a modern, structurally sound house or apartment, large enough to comfortably accommodate their entire family

There is no reason why every one of those homes shouldn't have a full set of living room, bedroom and dining room furniture, central heating, air conditioning, hot and cold running water, electricity, telephone/cable service, internet access at least one 3 piece bathroom (toilet, sink, tub/shower), a kitchen with a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator and ample pantry space.

There is no reason why every family shouldn't have a computer and every individual a smart phone, and every home a landline, at least one TV set and radio

There's no reason why every rural and suburban family shouldn't have one electric or hybrid car per adult member of the household, and every urban family shouldn't have one car per household and access to 24 hour a day free subway, bus and commuter railroad service

There is no reason why every human being on the face of the planet shouldn't have free, readily available, nondiscriminatory, medical, surgical, dental, optical, psychological, physical and mental rehabilitative care, glasses/contact lenses, hearing aids, dentures and any and all other medical devices

There is no reason why every community on Earth shouldn't have paved roads, water and sewer main service, free trash collection, and 24 hour a day police, fire and ambulance service

There is no reason on Earth why any person should be hungry or homeless

There is no reason on Earth why every able bodied adult should not be able to find work that is well compensated and where they are treated decently, professionally and with respect.

There is no reason why every person on the planet who can't work - due to youth, old age, temporary or permanent disability or pregnancy shouldn't be able to live in comfort with their needs provided for as long as necessary

Or, I should say, there is one reason we don't have all of that, which we deserve and we can and should have right now

We have 3,311 billionaires and 62,483,000 millionaires, glomming up all the wealth produced by the hard work of the world's 3.3 billion workers

So, there's only 62,486,311 selfish greedy people standing between us and universal prosperity

We need to have a word with those guys about that, sooner rather than later

...AND RUMORS OF WARS - deportations, tariffs and the sea lanes of the South China Sea - a world war may be coming, can we stop it before it starts?

…AND RUMORS OF  WARS –  deportations tariffs and the sea lanes of the South China Sea – a world war may be coming, can we can stop it before it starts?   For the last few years, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and the United states Department of Defense have been quietly but deliberately preparing for a world war in and around the South  China Sea, the Straits of Taiwan and the island of Taiwan itself   The world’s two main imperialist powers – America and China – have come to conflict for the reasons that imperialist countries always do – conflict over who’s billionaire investors and multinational corporations will get to exploit and plunder the world   China rose rapidly in the last century – from a backwards Third World semi feudal state plundered by every imperialist power to being the world’s leading manufacturing nation (30% of all the manufactured goods on the face of this Earth were MADE IN CHINA) – the br...

DENY, DELAY, DEFEND, or, why most Americans hate health insurance companies, and what we can do about that

  DENY, DELAY, DEFEND, or, why most Americans hate health insurance companies, and what we can do about that   Under normal circumstances, most poor, working class and middle class Americans would be horrified by the spectacle of an early morning commuter being shot in the back by a random armed stranger and mortally wounded on the way to a work meeting.   But Brian Thomson was no ordinary commuter – nor was his (alleged) assailant Luigi Mangione (or, as he was dubbed on Tik Tok, “The Adjuster”) an ordinary gunman   We don’t know all the facts yet, but, based on published accounts in the media, Mangione was an affluent and well educated young man, from a well off family – but he reportedly suffered a debilitating back injury, around the same time his grandmother fell ill and passed away.   These   personal tragedies would be devastating enough… but, of course, the insurance industry made things worse, as they always do – a tragedy that’s dre...

DISORGANIZED LABOR – or, why America’s unions can’t – or won’t – organize this country’s workers

  DISORGANIZED LABOR – or, why America’s unions can’t – or won’t – organize this country’s workers By Gregory A. Butler   America’s labor unions only represent 10% of the workforce. Even in the public   sector, unions only represent 34% of workers – mostly concentrated in federal sector, and in state, county, municipal and tribal governments in blue states   In the private sector, unions are all but defunct – 6% overall. Manufacturing, once a union powerhouse over 50% organized is now barely 10% unionized. Construction, once over 80% union, is now barely 10%. Trucking went from 90% to 7%. Warehouses are also largely non union these days.     Longshoremen in sea freight are still mostly union, but port truck drivers are largely non union. The sailors on the ships, if they have a union at all, are second class members of unions based in the countries the ships are registered in, or are often entirely non union (especially in ships registered in ...
