You have a talent for pointing out the stupidity of everyone but you. You are smart, as you know without being told, but there are considerations even you, with all your intelligence fail to address. True, I must agree with most of what you say. Your job is to tell us the obvious problems which the rest of us you seem to think are too stupid to see and admit.
You suffer the arrogance that seems to accompany significant intelligence, but you set yourself above the rest of us.
Again, we all appreciate the hard opinions you present about OUR problems without giving offering possible suggestions for solving these rather obvious problems which ever offering possible solutions.
It is easy, requiring no great, unique brilliance to see.
You constantly talk down to the rest of us as if we are fools, and only you, in your presumed brilliance can see.
Every problem has possible solutions, which you keep to yourself.
If you are smart enough to see a problem, you are also smart enough to see possible solutions Share with us your thoughts regarding solutions to these problems. You seem content to only pontificate to the unwashed dumb asses what you presume we can’t see without the diagnosis you so proudly and generously offer up to us.
Your view of the facts are not necessarily a final statement of given facts. They are your opinions of those facts.
I suggest you would do well to step down from the elevated platform you have built for yourself, and join the crowd of the rest of us to whom you preach and search with the rest of us for the ANSWERS to your problem and ours.
Frankly, my friend, I am weary of being talked dow to.
Capitalism is not inherently evil. Our version of it is parasitic capitalism.
Assuming that the 0.1 % of our richest are too greedy to step up to the plate, tell us, what do you an I and millions of others do about it. You seem content to reveal to us how domed we are
