Greetings good citizen, as I have shared on more than one occasion it occurs to me that the primary reason we have not experienced a 'second revolution' in this nation (as well as all those other nations modeled upon this one who are pretty well convinced our nation is on the 'wrong path'.
What's the problem, you ask?
If we made a list and held it to our chin it would hit the floor...and that's just the things we all AGREE are wrong!
But 'the system' is supposed to be how we address the problems facing our society but, unsurprisingly, we find the eyetem has been 'broken' by those who use their 'influence' to get things 'their way'.
Global warming, the proverbial 'Elephant in the room' has been 'backburnered' by those who have a vested interest in the 'status quo'.
Other nations are forging ahead with alternative energy but buying wind turbines and solar panel made in China won't sit well with the people that lost their jobs here DEVELOPING that technology in the first place!
But I digress. One of the realities we've come to accept is we can't use the system to fix the system and because of that our system sucks!
But more importantly, if we COULD 'fix the system', what would we fix?
Because the other 'Elephant in the room is the playing field needs to be leveled...really bad!
Why do people believe we are headed in the 'wrong direction'? It is because the 'average guy' gets it stuck to him for not putting the screws to everyone he meets.
More importantly, at the lower end of the spectrum you HAVE TO 'tread lightly'...you can't AFFORD to mistreat others or the next thing you know you'll wake up in a 'burning bed'.
The guys with the 'power' to stick it to you are protected behind a wall of laws that serves NO ONE but THEM!
The part that sticks in EVERYBODY'S craw is NOBODY should be able to get away with treating others like that! If we have to 'watch it' they should have to too!
People got behind the, er, 'last round' of revolutions for precisely that reason, for far too long being 'king' had privileges that were beyond the pale.
They also liked the idea of 'accountable' leadership...how unfortunate is it for us that most modern/post royal leaders only suffer 'loss of office' as the penalty for their crimes against the people?
While the 'colonies' that would eventually become the 'United States' had broken fresh ground on the political landscape, the people of Europe didn't know what to do when their 'kings' sprang off of their thrones and stepped aside while their 'Divine leadership' was replaced by a 'popularly elected' leader...who was 'accountable' to the people in a way no king ever had been.
This didn't make sense [historically inconsistent] and some people were [rightly] worried that something was 'wrong' with this picture and it turns out those who thought something was...not kosher were right!
Because the king was still issuing the orders via his 'elected' mouthpiece and for the very first time in history, the state of the nation/kingdom 'WASN'T HIS FAULT!' He no longer took the blame for his harebrained ideas and policies because they were enacted by his 'proxy' who did what he was told if he knew what was good for him!
BUT alas, part of the 'deal' they made with those who did their bidding and took the heat for their, er, 'more unpopular' ideas had to be exemption from prosecution...a quid pro quo arrangement.
While the 'pat' response to any that attempted to expose this masquerade would be to claim the renegade was suffering from a mental breakdown, the idea that more than one could go 'rogue' simultaneously had to be nipped in the bud before it became a problem.
Well, what I am trying to communicate is there's a 'cartel' of very powerful individuals running the whole show via their 'elected proxies' and there isn't a friggin thing we can 'do' about it.
We didn't elect these people so we don't possess the power to 'defund/defang' them.
So as I began to opine earlier, there hasn't been a revolt because there isn't a way to fix the system, the 'primary obstacle' to revolting in the first place!
But let's suppose we DID, ever so 'temporarily' have the power to 'turn the tables' on these ruthless scum...what would you DO to 'level the playing field and KEEP IT LEVEL?'
We're a little more 'sophisticated' than our browbeaten forebearers...once it was enough to have the king off your back but now what we want more than anything is a level playing field...so how do we 'level the playing field'?
That is why I developed the 'Human Anti-exploitation Law...which basically outlaws the 'employer/employee relationship. Nobody has the right to make their living off of somebody else's labor, it is another form of 'slavery'.
So how will we live if we can't work for Massa?
Don't be a 'simp' [simpleton] you work for who you've ALWAYS worked for, the customer! The H.A.E.L just cuts out the 'middle man' and let's you preform a clean 'fair trade'.
Money allowed the 'division of labor' that brings us modern society. With money it was no longer necessary for you to do EVERYTHING yourself! You could do what you were 'good at' and buy what you needed from people who did what they did because that's what they were good at!
That is money's SECOND useful purpose...it makes it so you don't have to do EVERYTHING yourself! It's other useful purpose is it limits access...but only when the playing field is 'level'...
So it is the H.A.E.L. ALSO outlaws lending money at interest because this practice is...EXPLOITIVE! (it turns the debtor into an 'income stream' for the lender) Thus banking would become an internal function of industry.
How does the H.A.E.L. level the playing field at the executive level? ALL jobs, regardless of responsibility level, pay 'hourly'. Commission and bonuses (along with cash) are illegal.
All well and good but what do we do with the 'puppeteers'?
Excellent question! we cease the practice of 'electing' decision makers and instead will vote directly on the laws themselves!
How do we prevent the weasels from writing legislation designed to defeat the popular election process (via 'tricky wording')?
Well, our non-elected leaders...these people will 'win' their jobs by demonstrating their abilities in competitions intended not only to display their problem solving abilities but also their character...and I'd rather have someone with 'talent and demonstrated character' running the show than a professional liar any day!
You see, good citizen, there IS 'something to revolt for AND a way to 'fix' seemingly unfixable problems.
Gone are the days of 'Men, both 'good and true' who were actually evil and double dealing self-interested cons!
How do we bring these scumbags to their knees?
Demonstrations are something THEY invented. They want you 'marching in the street' so their minions can cut you down for 'unlawful' behavior.
We don't want to become 'easy targets' that do nothing more than make headlines while our quarrel is lost in the chaos of protest.
The 'smart' way to handle this is to go on strike.
They keep pulling this BS because YOU keep putting up with it!
STOP (giving them what they want, your labor and the products thereof) and let them know YOU won't TAKE IT ANYMORE!
And that, good citizen, means 'STIKE!'
I have already explained in previous posts how it is likely to go. If we stick to our commitment, they WILL lose!
Still one of the 'quietest' places in the blogosphere...makes you wonder, ya know?
Anyway, I hope this 'clarifies' things for those of you who were asking about the strike set for November 9th, 2016
Thanks for being patient with me and thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
