Not hard to find obvious examples... and "failed attempts" to "fix" things... The left's "caring" enough to provide this or that... isn't about "caring" at all... its about entrapment... as needed to create and sustain a dedicated and dependent political class that will sustain their power... So, "they" eliminated institutional slavery... and required it be replaced with other institutions... intended to enable a more efficient system of cheaper labor combined with economic repression... Today... all just "more of the same"... Democrats helping... as "the same" is done by "shipping our jobs to China"... and, at the same time... deliberately enabling flagrant violation of immigration law... to flood the market with massively subsidized low wage, unskilled workers... During the Bush years... effort was made to "enable more participation in home ownership" in order to allow lower wage earners to save over time... gain wealth... join the middle class... and, it was working... What did the left do to prevent "their people" being promoted out of poverty ? Changed the rules to force banks to be blind to location based and credit risk factors, and allow liars loans... which led to the end we saw in fraud based MBS in 2008... almost destroying the banking system... and putting an quick end to the prior trend... The banks were in on it, of course.... the scam being to profit from "originating"... and then pass the mislabeled risks on to be realized by "investors" in fraudulently rated MBS... no one being held responsible when it failed, of course... All of that... the result of maneuver re money and power... not "principle" applied in the rules ? A shorthand that will easily discriminate between what is free market and what is not... eliminating "capitalist excess" that is NOT about free markets... requires a proper definition... My stab at it... recognizing you need "the right rules"... and principled agreement on adopting them in good faith... A free market requires: no fraud, no monopoly, and no differential barriers to participation... A quick look at what we do have... and its pretty much the exact opposite of that....

Re <<I will be 70 in 6 weeks and have raised three sons and have 5 grandchildren with another one on the way. Life has been good to me, with no devastating health issues. >> Happy birthday, just change the lyric, for the important thing is more the sentiment. I have little to nothing to comment on re what you and the good sense are discussing, except to say, it is the relationships that engender feeling of contentment, am told by France-based ipsos china-happiest-place-world-ipsos-survey-2023-0jtnbbp3p and that might well be the case even as some of the findings are counterintuitive, given what is is and might be could be arabnews.com No matter what is and may be happening that ought to concern me, I am good as long as the kids are good When I think about the kids, at least two pics come to mind
