Well my bet never materialised and I lost a lot on Trump winning the US presidency. I never ever thought that America would vote for a man who clearly has dodgy thinking on being honest or even feel guilty about lying. A guy who would stitch you up when paying his obligation and feel nothing for his victims. A man who invites a weird but wealthy guy to shout and scream, throwing fascistic/Nazi salutes knowing full well that it sends a signal could get elected twice!
But here we are in a World run by Trump. Biden had to give pre-emptive pardons to all sorts of people because Trump wanted to start lawfare on anyone who tried to hold him to account.
The Second World War created an era that had less wars than any period in human history. devised the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – the greatest document in human history. Now with all those with first hand experience of World War Two dying out we are left with nazi loving plutocrats determined to subjugate the worlds population and grabbing as much assets from the world as possible.
I believe it was Getty who said the meek may inherit the world but not its mineral rights, and this is going to be viewed in the next few years.
Selling public assets or as McMillan once said ‘the family silver’ has not benefitted the general population one bit. All it has done is reinforce the wealthy even more and this wealth inequality is only going to get worst.
Collective campaigns and bargaining are the only option for the most of us but with social media bosses and bucket loads of cash to finance any amount of false information it is going to be difficult in organising and demanding that everyone has a chance to be heard and respected.
