  1. Its not just American democracy its Western Democracy. America might be in the worst state but make no mistake EVERY Western Democracy is in trouble. I'm an Australian engineer, who went to college in America. We have all the same shite here in Australia. I was in Canada for work a few years back and it was the same there. We get the news out of Asia, Europe and Britain and its the same story in all those places. Its certainly more blatant in America, but make no mistake its EVERYWHERE. We have all allowed a tiny collection of hyper-wealthy insanely selfish people (usually referred to as the top 1% or just 1%ers). I've spent a chunk of my COVID downtime trying to workout how to handle mangers better. They keep pressing idiotic project strategies. Most of them have economics degrees so I started watching people like Mark Blyth (Brown U.) who's a political economist. He looks at how political and economic systems interact, which suited my engineering background because he uses techniques very similar to system engineering. Back in June 2019 he did 3 lectures at McMaster U. in Canada. One on Global Trumpism, which is easy to find. The other 2 were on "How we got here." and "Can we have it all." The talk on "How we got here" is really interesting because it covers the last 120years of economic history. He uses an analogy of 3 computer systems and how just like with real computers they need to have either of both their hardware and software upgraded. He explains that we should have had a major upgrade after the 2008 FGC and it never happened, because the top 1% were bailed out. Instead of cleaning house we made it worse and we now have this insanity where the top 1% get everything they want and the rest of us get smashed. They control our governments, media and courts. Orwell said it best "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever."
