You've commented on Socialist societies.

Just wanted to point out that some of the places with the happiest citizens living the LONGEST life, HAPPIEST existance, and given great health and most importantly excellent education are in fact, Socialist societies.

So try not to think the West has the best system around, we keep finding out how flawed, unfavorable to the middle class, and un sustainable it really is.

Ask the former US comptroller how much time the US has before it bankrupts, I believe he says in 40 yrs the US is in danger of collapse.

But at least 4% of the US wealthiest have nice homes (10 each), nicest cars (20 each) and the ability to live life above the law or societal norms that everyone else has.

Profit above all will lead to epic failure, which we will see in the next 50-100 years.

Caring about your people, supporting social programs like universal healthcare are going to go a long way above profit above all else.
