You know Speed, "From each his ability, to each his need" ain't a horrific ideal. Pretty damn good one. Want to mention responsibility emphasized on both sides of that coin. Our tech improves the ability to detect criminal irresponsiblity. Nice seque there to remain on topic you got to admit:)(No politics but excerpts from the Communist Manifesto don't count.
I'm for globalization. And for the democratic ideal EVERY WHERE (Hell, that ain't happening). Environmental and human rights sections of the defunct TPP were ideals I endorsed. When they are enforced.
Not thrilled with our new Commander-in-Chief, but believe he may just be intimidating enough to bring better balance to the equations. I am concerned with the autocracy and oligarchs willing to bypass inconvenient truths and fundamental responsibilities in their own Art of the Deal transactions.
Like Fred says, we can compete. We do amazing things with elemental properties now. Do we quarry down the mountain to get to them and leave a wasteland (striking example is the Brazilian rain forests).
I look at the labels. Appreciate and purchase Fair Trade coffee. My wife does our gathering actually, turned her from the darkside to a loveable liberal. She just recently entered Walmart after years of boycott for their lack of employee benefits. To each his needs.
Factory line is a pretty damn numbing experice, so is agriculture. If you honor the one doing the job with ncaa living wage and assist in their hour of need and foster a better way, pretty much cover all the principles.
China is just entering an era of labor activism. Ineresting to watch. India, a supposed democracy is generations behind.
We're all in this world together. SigNATURE DNA just enforcing manners on my neighbor who wants to deficate on my dinner plate.
Thanks for gettin my this far.
