People were frugal, tried to be moral, work hard, etc.. He said this initial intent was eventually lost thus leading to us ending up in an iron cage.<br /><br />The legitimation crisis of today is simple. Those who are willing and able to work are up against the fact that there are more people than available jobs.<br /><br />The solution to the problem is also simple, to basically shift the economy from one centered on war and spying to one that is based on social justice. Unfortunately those in power are selfish pigs. Regular people also tend to be very selfish and only care about their own interests. Some would care more, but since they are trapped in their everyday grind, they feel there isn't much they can do.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.com
