@3967703f both ends of the spectrum: failures 

 @3967703f 

When should we have stopped Sam Walton? 

 @3967703f 
Is failing.  
Or has failed in most areas.  Things can always get worse and we can work hard to make them better.

It’s a failure for sure, but all hope is not lost.

& it’s not empty hope either.

There are nations that had fascist coups who threw out the fascists through voting in socialists.

The world is what we make it.

So if it’s broken, then it’s time to bust out the tools and fix it.

We can do it.

We must do it. 

 @3967703f I was just thinking about this the other day. For context, I am in a third world country.

I was outside of my condo the other day and a guy pulled up in a car that is easily worth 10 condos here. It is probably worth about as much as my parents 5 bedroom house in the states.

I live pretty comfortably here, but there is extreme poverty. I started wondering why society can even function when there is such a divide between people. 

 @3967703f
and yet, society blames the homeless fir their "failure" and admires the billionaires for their "success" .. krank 

 @3967703f it's true 

 @3967703f 

I agree. I saw Colin Farrell the actor literally cry on talk show, as he talked about homelessness in L.A. 
  Chief Sitting Bull couldn't understand WHY white people had homeless. In NYC he gave of his own money to help them. 
  No country is ":great" that has homeless people, seems to me.

Counter: 
Homelessness (and billionaires) means capitalism is working as it was designed.

Frankly, it means that ANY SYSTEM that posits that food and housing are not inherent rights, is working as designed.
