it's ~~our~~the ruling class' business model.

This country doesn't deserve a recession, it deserves democracy.

The decision makers are beholden to the ones who control the money, or to someone who is beholden to someone -- who controls the money.

Executives should be electable, and recallable by the workers within a business / government department / workplace.

How many times has an executive been right where all the workers thought it was a bad idea vs how many times as an executive made a fucking stupid decision which the workers rightly thought was stupid?

The former has stories written about it because it's so damned rare, the latter happens literally all of the the time.

Let's not have a recession, let's have a revolution. I'm done with this economic system. This is stupid.
