What can we do? Seriously.
Muskets?
Tally ho lads!
Things are hard and people who are barely getting by don't want to make their lives worse.
Now they got these new things called the rifles, apparently they're more accurate I've been meaning to look into it.
Yeah, but those are also much more regulated. Last I heard, for muskets, certain gun laws don't apply.
Sure but hear me out here, this is new things called drones, autonomously controlled you can put explosives on them and run them into shit, maybe we should look into that.
Certain SCOTUS housing, to my understanding, is very welcoming of such packages.
I would say fight back economically by forming cooperatives. This guy and his criminal enterprises are stealing massive amounts of wealth from us, which realistically means prices are just going to keep going up and up and up. Not to mention Hormuz being closed with no end in sight. We need people to become more economically self-reliant ASAP.
Let me know if you want more specific ideas about managing cooperatives (or look at my post history).
I wholeheartedly endorse your position here.
I as well have spent a good deal of time evangelizing on the need to set up our own sort of companies that do not operate solely on the profit margin in areas where the private sector is not providing a societal need well.
Thanks! Glad to find allies.
How would you feel about a worker's cooperative (1share/1vote) with an elected board and president, but also a CEO who gets elected based on a business plan? The CEO would build a management hierarchy to implement the business plan, something that's missing from typical co-ops.
Equity of socialism with the productivity of capitalism, or at least that's the hope.
I would actually love to talk about this more when I am able I would love to share some of my ideas and hear yours. I think there's a lot of good possibilities in your ideas sound good I have mine too but am just unable to do by myself.
But basically your last paragraph is my thinking, we're obviously not going to get socialism and industries where we need it, we could do it privately. We obviously need to.
