Robert Reich 'If Nobody Else Runs To Get Big $$$ Out Of Politics+Restore Prosperity For All -I WILL'

[ymetca]

50. Not a snowball's chance in hell...

... has this man of becoming president. That High Priest position has been pre-selected by the global monied elites since long before I was born, way back when in the dead-end Sixties. Like it or not, we now live in a planet-wide kleptocracy, something akin to Philip K. Dick's Solar Lottery.

The corporate-nation-state model is dying, and killing the planet, along with millions of us peons at the bottoms of our atavistic pyramid dreams. We don't need another Pharoah. We need all the Pharoah-wannabes to jump into a volcano instead.

Unless and until we establish a global one-person, one-vote Democracy, we cannot fully implement SMI2LE and provide escape velocity for enough individuals to experience zero-G, and thus free our collective mindset of the primitive impulses that propel us toward (yet still another) collapse of human civilization. We have to stop playing King of the Hill.

Having said all that, of course I would vote for Mr. Reich if he wanted to pour all our trillions of military bucks into building a space elevator...

As for the whole "jobs = success" bullshit, I side with Bob Black on that one.
