i'm not so cynical as to believe that neoliberal capitalism is the only option, but i don't think a return to either soviet planning or the old style of capitalism is really the answer either

yeah lol doing about the same as the S&P and then shaving 2.5% off for fees. you can buy so many funds right now that model on the s&p and charge like ~.2 to .7%

on top of that youc an only sell one day a quarter too.

i wish that law had passed where financial advisors couldnt purposely sell you lovely investments becaues it gets them commission. like teh only deffense i saw against that law was, "but if we cant lie to people nobody will dot this job!" yeah no poo poo buddy thats kind of the point

Hideous racists are the Republican base. They knew what Trump was and voted for him, once in the primaries and again in the general. There is no mysterious cache of sane but desperate Republicans in the nation. They are all terrible people

If they're so terrible then why did Hillary and the rest of the establishment try to court them?

Each year, delegations from Africa meet with officials and business leaders in the US for the African Global Economic and Development (AGED) Summit.

This year's event took place at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles.

But unfortunately, one crucial aspect was missing from the summit - any Africans.

None of the invited delegates were able to attend, due to being denied a visa at the very last minute.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-huntington-beach-restaurant-20170318-story.html

i'm guessing this restaurant doesn't see many tourists, or maybe he made an exception for them

also, when reading these stories, i always wonder: how would you prove you're a citizen if randomly challenged in the street? do you carry your birth certificate on you at all times?

Leave capitalism in place, but have high taxes 90%+ on profit above a certain amount. That is what happened after the 1930's and it lead to the amazing wealth that the West had for several decades after WW2.

The policies changed after the 1960's and we have all been on decline since then.

That would be the safe change to make if you won't want to worry about full socialism. You not only improve the lives of everyone, but boost the consumer economy due to the middle class spending.

Of course we know that won't happen because the conservatives want all or nothing, and they hate a civil and caring society.

Capitalism won't last, no economic system in the history of humanity has lasted as any significant force until today. But whatever the next one is, it has to have a large middle class and be democratic in nature. Anything else will lead to war and violent revolution.
